Note:  I wrote these ten poems in the huiku style of poetry a few days ago and published them for the first time today, the 21st of January, 2025.   I started with Version # 1 and added a different last verse or line which keeps with the theme of the poem but slightly changes the meaning.  This is a practice that I started some time ago.  I ask the reader if he or she would be so kind as to let me know the number of the poem that most resonates with them by leaving a reply in the comment section.

Man often deceives, betrays

Rather trust in deeds

© 2025  M.N. Hopkins

Note:  I wrote this poem in the haiku style of poetry a few days ago and published it for the first time today, the 19th of January, 2025.  It is always best to observe the actions of others and reserve not too quick to accept their promises.  The word Man is used as in proper English being short for Mankind which includes both genders.

Our Actions Will Define Us - A Poem by M.N. Hopkins

Leave judgement to God

Our actions will define us

Tend your own garden

© 2025 M.N. Hopkins

Note:  I both wrote and published this poem for the first time today, the 18th of  January, 2025.  These words came to me in the wee hours of the morning.  To sum it up, when we stick out noses where they do not belong or when we spent all our time in another persons garden, our own garden will end up full of weeds.

Work, Time And Faith Are Conditions For Success - A Quotation by Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov

Work, time and faith - conditions for success Most people readily admit that in order to succeed in the material world, you must be committed and work without cutting corners. But in the spiritual realm they imagine they can obtain results easily and quickly. What a mistake! In the spiritual realm, more so than in the material world, you must first set to work and never relax your effort. Secondly, you must not be in a hurry, because it is a long-term undertaking and time is not a factor. Finally, you must have faith: be convinced that this spiritual work will one day bear fruit, because nature is faithful and true, and the laws which govern it can never be faulted. Work, time and faith. You do not realize the wealth contained in these three words. We can, of course, present them in a different order: faith, work, and time, and so on. What is essential is to understand that these three elements are connected, and to know how they are connected. Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov was a Bulgarian philosopher, pedagogue, mystic, and esotericist. A leading 20th-century teacher of Western Esotericism in Europe, he was a disciple of Peter Deunov, the founder of the Universal White Brotherhood.

Hard Times Are Coming - A Quotation by Ursula K. Le Guin

Hard times are coming, when we’ll be wanting the voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now, can see through our fear-stricken society and its obsessive technologies to other ways of being, and even imagine real grounds for hope. We’ll need writers who can remember freedom — poets, visionaries — realists of a larger reality.

Ursula K. Le Guin

Ursula Kroeber Le Guin (1929–2018) was an American author. She is best known for her works of speculative fiction, including science fiction works.
