Patience is not passive. It is the quiet strength to remain in the moment without forcing it to become something else. Time works beside it, softening edges, revealing what can only be seen slowly. Together, they teach us that rushing rarely delivers us to the place we seek — but presence does. Like the steady unfurling of a leaf or the ripening of fruit, life’s most meaningful changes cannot be hurried. Today, hold your ground. Trust that the unseen work is being done. In your waiting, the world is quietly rearranging itself to meet you.
