How long can you sit with discomfort?
Uncertainty?
Imagine the absurdity of getting anxious
That a seed you sowed a few days ago hasn’t sprouted
Or that the baby born last November
Isn’t paying her own taxes?
Things take time.
There’s no other way to say it.
Hacks. Shortcuts and creative work arounds
May get us certain advantages sooner
But not everything can be microwaved.
Some victories taste better when they’re
Slow cooked.
