Some Days

Progress is paradoxical.

Some days,

what you expect to be difficult comes easy,

what you expect to achieve easily takes much time and effort.

Some days,

moving two steps forward,

happens after moving two back, and one sideways.

Some days,

our attempts to clear the path,

places an obstacle on another.

Some days,

we learn the lesson

provided by yesterday’s ‘failure’.

Some days,

we have nothing to show

for the energy and effort expended.

Some days,

all of the pieces

fall into place.

Some days,

we wonder what progress looks like.

Every day,

we experience it, one way or another.
