Haiku – Dreams
Refuse to give in
Hold tight to your desires
They always come true
+
Dreams do usually come true, but maybe not in the way you expect them to. I thought my dreams were one thing when I was a young man, now, I realize I hadn’t even begun to dream about the things I truly wanted way back then. Family, faith, home, love, those are the dreams I didn’t even know I was dreaming until they happened.
I was inspired to write this Haiku by this blog post this morning:

Haiku – The “Feet Stomping through Sunshine” Run
Wispy white thin clouds
Drift in an endless blue sky
Winter on a small break
+
With all my errands this morning, I am surprised that I managed to get this walk/run (more walking than running right now) in today. I had to go though, because an arctic blast is headed our way, and I couldn’t pass up this day. Going to be cold for a few days after this. Overnight lows in the lower teens, day time highs in the twenties and thirties – cold. Not as bad as some though. All of those trapped by winter I am wishing you a lot of warm thoughts.

As a sidebar, unrelated to running – I read this great article this morning and I wanted to share it with you guys. I found it fascinating. You might too.
Here it is:
Scott Kelly has found an unusual way to maintain a youthful advantage over his twin brother Mark. Next month, he will blast off on a year-long mission on board the International Space Station, a journey that will have one unintended consequence. During his 12 months in space, Scott will age less than his earthbound brother – thanks to the tenets of Einstein’s theories of relativity.
“The effect is known as the twin paradox, though it is not actually a paradox, it is a straightforward consequence of the laws of relativity,” says Mark, who has also flown on several space missions including two as a space shuttle commander. “Essentially, time will pass slightly more slowly for Scott than for me because he will be travelling at a greater speed relative to me.”

Haiku – Spirit Chaser
He stood in the dark
Looking down the long hallway
Ghost pointing at him
+
I don’t know if you guys watch any of those reality based ghost shows or not, but my favorite of the bunch is “Ghost Adventures.”
Is it real? Is it fake? Who really knows.
Personally, I do think they occasionally catch something, but not nearly as much as they claim. Sometimes, just a little too much happens, but it is entertaining to watch. During their first season (the earlier episodes seem to be more legit) they supposedly caught something big on camera. To me, it looks pretty authentic, hard to fake, but again it is a reality based show about ghosts. Here’s the video. You guys let me know, real or fake?

Haiku – The “Sunny Veil” Run 2
Vicious strong head-wind
Pushing into my cold face
Sunshine, a warm friend

Haiku – The “Sunny Veil” Run
Deceptive sunshine
Warming up my frozen bones
Disguising the cold

Finally trying to get back to a little 30 minute run/walk. Feels good to get back out there again even though today it was chilly on my shorts wearing legs.

Flying ever strong
In the gentle breeze you wave
Constant reminder

Rushing through darkness
Frantic with each step you climb
Sliver of light – hope

Haiku – Wind-Swept
Dead brown leaves dancing
One by one and two by two
Together they fly

Trees swaying – shaking
Branches blown by the stiff breeze
Racing through the limbs

Steamy coffee in the mug
I start to wake up

Always enjoyed this one. Good song to listen to as you drink a cup. So, sit back, sip from your favorite mug, and relax this Saturday morning.
