I’m learning that some things cannot be hurried. P I’m learning that some things cannot be hurried. Patience asks us to trust the low fire—the quiet work happening before anything takes shape.

This excerpt captures it well:

“The secret is not the pot, Teresa. It’s patience. Low fire, slow stir, no rushing. Works for stew. Works for life.”
