Haiku chronicling continued. Wrote these when I thought we were headed for trouble. Don’t take a genius to predict the future anymore. We need to reach up to touch bottom now. But somedays I feel less despondent—or naïve. Stay Strong…………….. Rev Russ

Haiku chronicling continued. Reflecting and remembering helps, but in my sadness—I ask myself: was it better then or worse? Kierkegaard told us life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards. I’m still working on that perspective. Stay Strong…………….. Rev Russ

Haiku is suited for short attention spans but requires long thought—that’s today’s paradox.
The Hands-Off event(s) were inspiring & prompts me to break with my chronicling of past Haikus. Stay Strong…………….. Rev Russ

Haiku reflections. Sometimes remembering brings sorrow.
I thought I was confused in January, but it made more sense than now.
Hope never dies, but sometimes it hides.
Stay Strong…………….. Rev Russ

If you post Haiku
and no one even reads it,
does it make a sound?

Chronically my Haiku since U.S. election in Nov 2024.
Today, I’m into those of 2025……………Stay Strong…………. Rev Russ

Haiku for your consideration. Remember what you felt last Dec? Wrote these then. The good old days of only being worried about what “might” happen to our country.………….. Stay strong………… Rev Russ

For me, Haiku is cathartic. The sources of my angst are what’s happening in the U.S. and events in life I cannot control….I could probably deal with one of the two—or less intensity in each. Consider carefully how you spend your life………….. Stay strong………… Rev Russ

Today I’m resumed chronicling my Haikus from Nov 2024, but these feel like ancient history—when I hoped more. Things are changing so fast. We weren’t meant for this chaos nor this emotional whiplash. Stay strong………………. Rev Russ

Decided to break from my Haiku chronicling from Nov 2024 to now—can’t contain my outrage. Hope to resume recording past Haikus when calmer. Please stay strong …… Rev Russ

Haiku #2: Continued chronicle of my Haiku since Nov 2024. Reflecting back, things have gotten worse--in Nov 2024 I was only worried.....Rev Russ

I’ve resumed writing Haiku during the US election time of Nov 2024—to help deal with my sorrows & bewilderment of what is happening. Enjoy as you can. Don’t overthink it. More to come. Life’s a mystery………………….Rev Russ
