Joyful Ruins

Discovering joy in the hard places


Now and Wait

I don’t want to be in a hurry and yet

I cling and panic

wanting evidence and results

Because taking time

is contrary

to success

My heart says

let it come

allow it to grow

slow down and learn

breathe

I feel that is the authentic me

but there is obviously

other parts of me

that want it all

and now

These contrary parts

make me

the messy human I am

and that’s ok
