Growth
Inexorable, and slow.
It crept upon me slowly overnight, over days, over weeks. I realized one day that yesterday’s worry was no more. That yesterday’s weakness had become strength.
Growth is no invention nor strategy. It arrives eventually, never at once and never through force.
❖
In what direction do I now grow, Lord? What is the lesson you would have my mind, my body, my soul learn?
What must I do to get it?
Wait, and make ready to grow.
Wait.
– from the mountain
Consider:
Can I wait for growth?
