I am joining Elisabeth from The Dirigible Plum in writing a Haiku-A-Day during the month of December.
Haiku-A-Day Challenge #17: I Can Only Change Me
Each school day, I flip to a new page in my Book Worm Trivia. This morning, soon after I arrived at school this morning, I saw that my Saturday/Sunday page shared this quote by Rumi:
"Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself."
In response, I wrote this triple Haiku:
Much is beyond my
control: student attitudes,
demands, lack of time.
So much depends on
my response, my words, my hope.
How I can show up.
Looking inward - I
reflect. I write. I wonder.
I only change me.
