“Patience”
2021. Graphite Pencil on Bristol Board

I met a “patient warrior,” and he talked with me about patience.
He battled with anxiety for some time, and he came out victorious. He now moves slowly, a man without haste. He understood the importance of waiting. Time was just as important of an ingredient as the practical actions, in order for things to be fulfilled.
He realized he couldn't rush or slow the events of life; so he befriended time, seeing him as an ally instead of an enemy.
“Don’t worry,” he said, “He has made everything beautiful in its time.”
He also said, “Desire without knowledge is not good—how much more will hasty feet miss the way!”
I took these words to heart and practiced patience with self-control; this made me wise in my words and deeds. I could tell this warrior knew peace of heart and mind. And it made me happy to know him, a mirror to my own heart.

P.S.
We are looking for the fruit of a tree. You can have the seed, rich soil, plenty of water, the rays of the sun, and a gardener to tend the tree. You can have everything you need, but if you don’t allow the tree the time it needs to grow, none of the other things matter. That is how important patience is. “He has made everything beautiful in its time.” Continue to water the seed, and in time it will grow and produce fruit “at the right time.”
