There’s been so much demand for change the last couple years, so much criticism. There are some changes that I would absolutely like to see, in the world, personally, and professionally. But tearing open a flower bud won’t make it bloom faster. We can’t live in a time lapse video, and who would want to? Life would be over far too soon. Settling into nature’s pace reminds me that change is always happening, usually when it is something we are ready to grow into, rather than demand. I have to ask, how can I help myself and others grow? #learnfromnature #findingpeace #weekendmusings #steinbeckquotes (at Ventura, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgpZg6VvWE0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
