…ouroboros…

March 16, 2008 at 10:53 am (haiku, spiritual)

our self-consumption
trading long term happiness
for short term pleasure

this week’s one single impression prompt is ‘circle’ -
i have always been fascinated by the imagery of the snake
consuming its own tail, and by the negative cyclicality that many of
us can’t/won’t escape within our lives

but i’m also a huge fan of ‘ku recycling, so here are other
circle themed ‘ku from the sorry if you’re bored… archives

…with no forethought (6-8-6)…
…beyond time…
…ancient rings…

…business-babble phrase: second quarter ‘08 (plus bonus ‘ku)…

March 15, 2008 at 2:44 pm (bitter sarcasm, haiku)

an ‘issue tree’ is
organized bitching in a
graphical format

(not only was the meeting early this time, but we were
so damn productive that it resulted in TWO ‘ku. that’s twice
the bang for your business-babble buck. i’ll send the bill in the mail…)

we’re ‘touching base’ when
we talk about the same shit
sixty times a day

…sometimes the best gift is silence…

March 9, 2008 at 12:38 am (annoying preachiness, haiku, manic depression)

i can’t possibly
know the pain you’re going through
but i can listen

this week’s one single impression prompt is ‘kindness’ -
i sometimes feel the greatest act of kindness we can perform
is just to listen sincerely to one another

listen sincerely
offer a shoulder not cold
lined with empathy
