Working to Live

Owl

Crying havoc and
Letting slip the dogs of war.
Where’s the fun in that?

Business is not all about work. I believe that we work to live, not live to work. So it is good, sometimes, to relax a little and take the pressure off ourselves. As part of that relaxation I like taking photographs and writing all sorts of material.

So I thought it would be fun to take some well-known quotations and give them a haiku/senryu twist.

Contemplation

Contemplative Horse

What are you watching? Do you long for the meadow And sweet summer grass?

To me, this horse seemed to be meditating. Maybe there’s a lesson for us all, here. Maybe we could all do with a few minutes of quiet contemplation, every day. Maybe, then, we would be better able to deal with what life throws at us.
