For some reason, when I saw Ronovan’s Haiku prompt for this week, my thought went to resilience. We may be making efforts and at first, it seems like nothing is happening, but with persistence, we will certainly see good results.

Though silent still waters flow
with persistent effort
it tears down hardened rocks.

Thankyou for sharing. I can relate to this Haiku. When I feel like throwing in the towel because I don’t see results right away, I gently remind myself, small steps persistently repeated over & over again will bring results. All in good time.
