The Slow Wisdom
Hold the fire gently.
The elders said,
for its light
belongs to all things.
Do not rush the water.
Do not rush the turtle.
Some truths arrive
only at the pace
of the earth itself.
Bend close,
and listen to the quiet
between your breaths.
That is where
The old ones wait.
Strength is not the flame—
It is the patience
to guide it
without forcing its path.
Walk slowly,
and the world
will reveal itself
in its own time.
