Day 3: Will

I live in the space
Between thinking and acting
Power in the pause
For day three, the three line poetic form of a Haiku seemed to be natural. Defined as a three-line poem with seventeen syllables, written in a 5/7/5 syllable count. Often focusing on images from nature, haiku emphasizes simplicity, intensity, and directness of expression.

This poem focuses on the Stoic practice of Hesitation to allow will, choice, to be activated to direct virtuous actions.
