My long painful wait… Now I was only time flowing through myself.

Patience personified (in a matter of speaking). One *does* wonder what’s going through their minds….

Austin Kleon, in an article (https://austinkleon.com/2021/04/26/im-not-languishing-im-dormant/) on April 26, writes about how being married to a gardener gives him rich metaphors for understanding time which goes by another clock- Mother Nature. As he says, “Gardeners not only develop a different sense of time, they develop the ancient wisdom of knowing when to do things:
To every thing there is a season,
and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up…
…if you try to wake a plant out of dormancy too soon, it will wither, and maybe die.”

I appreciate what Daniel contributed about gardens and mother nature and of course the passages of Ecclesiastes 3: 1-3
