Take the Steps Ahead

Take the steps ahead.

Detach from the thunderstorms.

We have umbrellas.

Study the Patterns of Life

A breeze brought you here.

Study the patterns of life,

like that of nature.

– Jon Riki Karamatsu, Haiku Poem #196, 11/16/2018 –

Pattern recognition. There are patterns of nature like the Hawaiian trade winds. There are also patterns in business such as supply and demand, branding, marketing, and investing. There are even patterns in our self-development such as our habits in studying, working, and exercising. When we recognize how these patterns can benefit us and others, we can mitigate our risks and increase our success.

Pull me into you.

Blending feelings with flavor.

Pulsating pleasure.

Who Cares If I Die?

Falling from the sky

into the depths of darkness.

Who cares if I die.

– Jon Riki Karamatsu, Haiku Poem #189, 11/6/2018 –

First, we all have problems, death of loved ones, attacks from our opposition and haters, legal woes, financial hardship, broken relationships, bad working environment, and such. To put things in perspective, there are children who are dying because there’s no drinking water. Our problems are tough but we can make it through them.

Second, most people don’t care whether we’re alive or dead. The only ones who do are our loved ones and haters. Avoid the haters and focus on our loved ones.

Third, practice things that counters our anxiety and depression such as but not limited to getting enough sleep, gratitude, exercise, eating well, getting sunlight, going to our happy places, appreciating nature, being around positive people, listening to happy music, writing our hearts out, helping another, meditation, lighting a nice smelling candle or wearing an uplifting scent, having a nice hot or cold shower or bath, working on our passions, and updating our vision board and life plans. I have much more practices that I will share with you in the near future after I finish editing my second novel.

I’m in emotional pain right now so I feel you if you’re going through anxiety or depression. I’ve been through these lows before so I know I can get through them. As mentioned above, I have a long list of practices that I execute to get myself back to my happier levels. I’m with you on your comeback. Sending you my love.

With Warmest Aloha, Jon

Fear My Tiger Eyes

Fear my tiger eyes.

Closer to biting my prize.

I got a good vibe.

– Jon Riki Karamatsu, Haiku Poem #187, 10/30/2018 –

When we have a vision of a better life and better world, we must eye it down like a tiger does its prey with patience until we execute and taste our vision and goals. I love tigers because I’m born in the year of the tiger.

The light will push through.

Something’s happening.

A feeling, a buzz-like high.

The light will push through.

– Jon Riki Karamatsu, Haiku Poem #138, 6/27/2018 –

No matter how hard life gets, whether it be financial hardship, a death of a loved one, or a broken heart, we have to do our best to see all the good we have in our life. Day by day as we work at our projects, we get better and a bit closer to our dreams. In person and through social media, we can support one another. We’re in this together.

I took this picture in Waikele, Hawaii on 10/30/2018.

With Warmest Aloha,
Jon

Leave the Angry Kings

Leave the angry kings.

They rule in their small boxes.

Play in blank spaces.

– Jon Riki Karamatsu, Haiku Poem #185, 10/28/2018 –

Have empathy for angry people who limit themselves by their anger into small boxes, but create your dream life in blank spaces where anything is possible, and be happy while they destroy themselves.

My Isolation

PicsArt_10-28-02.59.36.jpg

Left the noise for peace.

Training in the outer rim.

My isolation.

– Jon Riki Karamatsu, Haiku Poem #186, 10/28/2018 –

Sometimes we need to cut ourselves off from the noise and hate so we can rebuild and reinvent ourselves. When we return, we’ll have more value and love to offer others and our society in a way where our critics and haters no longer recognize us.

Your Cute Twinkling Eyes

Is it from the lights?

I want to go inside them,

your cute twinkling eyes.

Love Sprouts Like Flowers

Love sprouts like flowers.

Bees and diseases want us.

Live. Reproduce? Die.

Secure Me But Don’t Lock Me.

My wings are dying.

Secure me but don’t lock me.

Let’s fly together.

Let’s turn these feelings to gold.

Softly you whisper.

Let’s turn these feelings to gold.

Transcend young and old.

Feel my thoughts. I comfort yours.

You Are So Precious

You are so precious.

Don’t ever think otherwise.

Flowers bloom from dirt.

White fluffy carpet.

It shot us up to the sky.

Screaming pain and joy.

You said, “We were dead.”

We talk in silence.

Closer than when we were real.

You said, “We were dead.”

At Night They Gain Ground

At night they gain ground.

Meditate to my music.

I still hear footsteps.

Love Reverses Pain

The blues feel so good.

I’m falling upwards from you.

Love reverses pain.

Music Plays A Huge Role In My Life!

Music plays a huge role in my life. I listen to songs with happy hooks and beats, especially electronic dance music to keep my myself happy and positive and when exercising. Classical and relaxing instrumental music is what I listen to when writing legal documents and researching laws. I like fun music when researching and writing business documents and nonfiction projects. When I write my novels and poems, I enjoy romantic and sad songs so I can bring out the emotions in the characters and dramatic scenes, then I switch to uplifting songs for the happy scenes. Here, I’m wearing my wireless Beats headset from my friend Ryan Sanada in my office with the plumeria flowers in the background. There’s also coconut trees behind the plumeria tree, all very relaxing to look at while I work!
