When in trouble
Everyone says "It will pass"
But there is no one who "stays with me"
When "I need someone"
Everyone says that I am my own refuge
But there is no one who extends a hand to "help"
When tired
Everyone tells me to rest
But there is no one who stops creating problems for me to solve
When I can't do it
Everyone tells me to "be patient"
But there is no one by my side
...
Do you see anything?
"Truth" and "Life's truth" are teaching us that
That...this world is impermanent
The word "forever" does not exist
The word "sustainable" is not true
They see us as important because they may see the benefits from us
They value us because we are still providing benefits to them
...
When you have money, keep your feet on the ground
When you are rich, don't be arrogant
When you are down, don't be discouraged
When you are happy, don't float
When you are sad, don't sink
When you have no one left... leave "mindfulness" to remind yourself.

Do you understand haiku?
Do you ever get sidetracked when writing? I do. I think it must be in the nature of the creative mind to draw connections and have a need to explore them. Since the World Wide Web became established in the 1990s, this has become a lot easier to do. The phenomenon being described as ‘going down a wormhole.’ Sometimes a distraction, but I have written some of my best work when I have disappeared down one web wormhole or another. It also happened in the days when most of my research was book based so we can't blame it on the internet. Book research was just slower. These days, guided by my AI friend, it is much, much quicker.
