Haiku from a Friend, Step Ten

I hit a writer's block when attempting to bring Haiku to Step Ten.

I asked for inspiration at a recent Emotions Anonymous workshop and John L. brought these fine words forth: 

Steady steps on stones,

Some dry, some slick;  a slipped foot

Is planted anew.

John's gentleness is mirrored in Julia Cameron's words:

Growth is an erratic forward movement: two steps forward, one step back. Remember that and be very gentle with yourself.
