"The wise do not hurry, nor do they try to control
everything. Instead, they move intentionally and understand
that impulsive reactions function as a barrier to their peace."
Yung Pueblo
The caterpillar teaches us the importance of not prematurely breaking open the cocoon. No matter how excited we are to set our sight upon a brilliant spring flower, we respect the tortoiselike unfolding of the bud.
It is with wisdom that we stand still, taking in the pause. Relinquishing need for control, we are able to watch a situation naturally unfold. As we slow our minds, resisting from immediate solution, we begin to see from higher ground.
A surfacing shortcut triggering impulsive reaction, often causes us lengthy reparation in the end. Reframing from immediate solution, there is time to explore differing points of view, discover creative resolution, and distance the situation from fear, anxiety and stress.
