Be Still and Wait

📝Reflection

The Hebrew dom means to fall silent, to close the mouth. The poet says do not let your insides boil at another's success. Comparison is the most common flint that sets a quiet mind on fire. I would peer over into another's garden and forget to water my own pot. That person has already bloomed. But I kept forgetting that every flower blooms in a different season. To be still was not to turn my back on the world, but to return from another's clock to my own.
