23 Aug Opportunity
Opportunity knocked,
Sat,
Got into bed with me.
I rolled away,
Waiting
For Opportunity to touch me
Tap me
Roll me back round and
Give of herself to me.
But
Opportunity didn’t.
She saw me asleep
And Opportunity doesn’t wait for you to be awake.
So she got up and left.
I got up and ran
After her
But Opportunity was gone.
Opportunity waits for no-one.

Posted at 14:33h, 02 SeptemberCan I capture opportunity? Hold it hostage? Imprison it until I am ready to avail myself of it? What if as it attempts to roll away, I lasso it and tie it to my waist? What if as it gets up to leave I push it back down? What if I can outrun opportunity, so that no matter which way it goes or how far it runs, I will always catch up to it?
Do I belong to opportunity or does it belong to me? Do I bow to it or does it bow to me. More importantly, do I create opportunity or does it create me?

Posted at 18:25h, 02 September[…] My good friend reasons that “Opportunity waits for no-one,” so if opportunity comes in and you are still asleep, she will get up and leave because she cannot wait for you to come awake. [Read her poignant words here]. […]
