Ode of an Architect – The Journey

It starts with self
while (alive == TRUE) mind.get(random(thoughts))
Thy subconscious is a fiesty, unpredictable partner
There are no original thoughts
Designs of economy and elegance
Are reluctantly released
Complexity will be contained
Clarity will come in time

I imbue visions and ideas
One team or one deliverable at a time
The journey is long and difficult
The rewards are many

Success made possible
By conveying understanding
Persistence and boldness
My allies include Clarity; reason and spikes

Reality intervenes
Tradeoffs will be forged
Intentional not accidental
The team understand the goal
Where we can take things next time

Helping others learn
Challenge and stimulate me
Together we light paths forward
Casting aside
Perceived constraints of the mind

Continuous improvements we make
Eliminating waste as we go
Alien to the unenlightened
Liberating to the energetic few

Mistakes and conflicts will occur
Choose battles and timing
Many opportunities to learn
Sometimes the master
Always a student
My appetite for learning
Grows with time

Custodians of the future
Expand your mind
Use many lenses
Choose your journey
Evolve your systems
Deliver value with vigour
Take action now

- Brett Dargan

Not sure where this came from, I had a slighly poetic moment, not in the rhyming sense
