Embrace life’s wings to fly— change

Butterfly after

Whether or not you want to, you’re going to change. Own the process. Embrace the change.

Change is inevitable—it’s a byproduct of being alive.

How you change is manageable—it’s within your power to control.

Senryu is a three-line unrhymed Japanese poetic form structurally similar to haiku (5-7-5 syllabic form). Whereas haiku focuses on nature, senryu is concerned with human nature.
