Planning to Adjust

I try to hold planning and adjusting in collaborative fraternity. But they weary of each other. The tension is palpable. Another plan butts up against reality and resents the gloating adjustments necessary for moving ahead. It is the goading of the jealous younger sibling, though, since the meanderings of change in a vacuum repeatedly prove that adjusting without a baseline plan against which to work isn't much more than chaos.
Why they do not embrace is a mystery to me. Such natural friends it seems. And yet planning resists any adjustments along the way. Adjusting resents being tied to and constrained by the defining structure of the plan.
I have chosen to foster this rivalry. Eager to exploit the benefits of their separate yet inseparable contributions.
