Syd and Smitty's Step Eight

Syd shared  beautiful imagery for Step Eight with me. I just tweaked to fit the Haiku form.


The ones I've harmed, their
Names written in soft beach sand
Ocean's tides erase.

Healing Sword

When wounds fester
May I see the hurt I've caused.
Write each name.  Wield love.  

Our sorrows and wounds are healed only when we touch them with compassion.
Buddha

Step Eight:  

Made a list

of all people we had harmed

and became willing to make amends to (us) all.

Step Eight, Open to Your Creative Input

The Haikus are my gift to you all and to my program.

For some reason, Step Eight has my creativity blocked:  "Made a list of all persons we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all."

Is it because of the word "list" that I have suddenly become listless?

If you can help,  I will publish what you share. 

Remember the form for Haiku is for the first line to contain five syllables, the second, seven syllables; and the third line, five syllables again.   Ideally a Haiku has an image in it, from nature, that lends a picture to the message..
