Haiku for perspective & comic relief

Be here now.
Be someplace else later.
Is that so complicated?

My brother, the doctor has been know to space out at the dinner table. Once when asked, if he had gone to the Golf Course after one of these moments, he replied, "yes, but sometimes when I am at work, I come home."

Wherever you go, there you are.
Your luggage is another story.

Whenever my children ask "where are we?" The answer they receive is "right here." They now answer their own questions.

Accept misfortune as a blessing.
Do not wish for perfect health, or a life without problems.
What would you talk about?

This is Alice's favorite.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
Forget this and attaining enlightenment will be the least of your problems.
