there will always be someone
who thinks things are going too fast
and believes more attention to process
is the only way to win
there will always be someone
who thinks things are going too slow
and thinks that increased procedural precision
is killing us
there will always be someone
demanding to know
who is in charge?
with the certainty that if the chain of command were clear
things would get done
there will always be someone
who wishes everyone would just get out of the way
and let the goodness emerge and grow
naturally
there will always be someone
describing the lack of regular, scheduled, communication
and the ensuing chaos,
as the root of all evil
there will always be someone
who starts to mime ritual suicide
at the suggestion of a meeting
just to make sure everyone is on the same page
for each person who believes in small incremental change
there exists a newtonian equal and opposite force
demanding that anything less than revolution
is a waste of time
i work with
and love
all of these crazy people
these dreamers who know
deep deep deep in their bones
that they are right
and i
am wrong
there will always be
great stuff happening
when we have these very arguments
because amazing things happen
when you are laughing
and when someone is really pissed off
they can be really, hilariously, funny
