Always Better Haiku With Lilies
“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”
- Aristotle, born circa 384 BCE in Stagira, Chalcidice, Ancient Greece (present-day Greece)
Always Better Haiku With Lilies reflects improvement as a daily decision rather than a distant goal. Rooted in KMTWF philosophy, the work affirms that becoming one’s best is not driven by comparison, but by a quiet commitment to exceed yesterday’s limits with intention and care.
The lily’s upward growth embodies perseverance — steady, patient, and resilient. Its shadow suggests untapped potential, always present, always calling us higher. Interwoven geometry reinforces structure within progress, reminding us that excellence is cultivated through consistency. This piece invites the viewer to embrace growth as a practice, choosing again and again to move forward — always better.
