A Seed of Patience

Field Note 8

We often imagine growth happening when everything goes according to plan.

The right schedule.

The right mood.

The uninterrupted morning.

The perfect conditions.

But most of life arrives differently.

A child needs something.

A phone call changes the day.

Energy shifts.

Plans dissolve.

And we are left with a choice:

Resist reality,

or participate in it.

The quality of our lives may depend less on how well we control the day and more on how gracefully we join it.
