What Patience Knows

Patience and urgency live in the same body. One pulses in the fingertips, the quickening of heart and mind at the scent of possibility. The other flows somewhere deeper, slow in the marrow, a quiet current most do not follow to its well. When urgency grips you, the world shrinks. Everything races toward a vanishing point where only the next action matters. Urgency moves like a flame across dry grass, brilliant, ravenous, transformative, but always hungry for fuel. It knows what is lacking, what has not yet arrived, what must be fixed or found. In the ache of the unfinished or the pain of the lost, urgency is answer and accusation—why not now? Why not more?
