Iteration Is Not a Phase

It’s not something I reach.

It’s where I live.

Try.

Learn.

Adjust.

Repeat.

It’s the condition.

Everything is in iteration.

Everything is an iteration.

What I call stable is still shifting.

What I call done is this version.

What I call clarity is today’s best available.

That’s what keeps showing up for me.

I want an arrival.

A finish.

A version that holds.

What I keep finding is movement.

Refinement.

Response.

Another pass.

Another version.

That’s the classy problem.

I keep hoping iteration will end.

It doesn’t.

It just changes form.

Iteration is not a phase of the work.

It is the condition of the work.
