What is Soft Thinking?

Day 442 of Des McCabe's Personal Development Exercises

SOFT  THINKING
 
The frame of our thinking
can be made of iron,
holding all fixed and secure,
difficult to move and
keeping all else out.
 
The frame of our thinking
can be made of wool,
holding all gently and
moving with the wind,
to greet all that comes.
 
Sometimes our perceived
strength is a real weakness,
and our real growth may be
in softness, flexibility and
a different type of thinking.
