Try Softer

Frustrations
Obstacles
Insufficiency
     of Time,
        Energy,
        Will,
        Clarity.
 
An important outcome still not achieved.
 
Don't give up.
Don't try harder.
Try Softer.
 
Loosen the grip on what is at hand.
Continue to press on, but ease up a bit.
Unclench the teeth.
Sip some tea.
 
Take a step back and think of something...
     Loosely related
     Completely different
     Comically antithetical
To the job at hand.
 
Explore the space of many ways to
Try Softer.
