Dance of Expectations
Blueprint held too tight — music missed.
Expectation is choreography rehearsed in private — promise of what should arrive, design you mistake for law.
Motives push. Prospects loom. Hope abounds until the grip tightens and potential narrows.
Hold the sight too hard and you miss the sideways door — not because you lack capacity, because you refused the redraw.
Stone was always a lie told for comfort. Path is pencil, not contract.
Open mind leaves margin for the future to be larger than the story you practiced.
Unknown is not insult. It is the dance floor when the planned steps fail.
Watch life begin to move when you stop commanding the beat.
The music still shifts. You still learn the new step.
