Haiku — 007: Relaxation
It’s Sunday, after all.
Hibernating bear,
Nestled away from snow storm,
Awaiting the sun.
Today marks the first successful week of my goal for a daily Haiku. Fittingly enough, I wanted to write about relaxation, the very important, and yet often under-appreciated aspect of life.
Relaxation is not merely sleeping or lazing — It is a physical, mental and (surprisingly often) spiritual unburdening of the self. And it does not have to be a thing of rest, either. On a stressful day, I make it a point to do something, a long walk, a furious bike ride or even taekwondo, just about anything to allow me to relax mentally. And when the pain takes over, that’s when rest of the ‘usual’ resting comes in.
It has to be something we enjoy, after all!
Happy Sunday!
