Wood for the Trees

I can't see the wood for the trees

Not me,

Oh, I look in the brook

But it comes up to my knees

Well what do I need?

 

You need to look through the forest he said

Listen, how far does the dog run into the wood?

I said, I don't know, he said good

You see he runs halfway, because

He can only run halfway into the wood

Before he starts running out of the wood

You see?

Not really -

Well that is why you can't see the wood for the trees

You are focusing on the problem and not the solution

You have to look through the gaps between the trees

To see the other side

If that is where you want to go,

How are you going to get there if you keep looking at the trees, see?

I said yes

Thank you, Fred
