Related 4 thoughts on “Haiku: Motives” Very interesting image selection for this haiku! Behavior and intention… they are both halves to the whole, aren’t they? Reply when imagery failed to make its way into my mind for this one, I decided to go with the one that looks like mentorship, because I figure that giving others the benefit of the doubt is a value we could benefit in passing on to younger generations. And what would we call the whole . . . action? Reply Well, there are layers. Behaviors are manifestations of action, yes? I would take a step upward and say character. Reply Okay, that’s probably a better choice. Behavior + intention = character. Reply Leave a reply to Rob's Surf Report Cancel reply Δ
