Mindful Mentor: Patience Guides

The old river near the forest still teaches me that patience is not waiting, but walking steadily beside a current that will never pause. I watched a young fisherman try a new net, and though his enthusiasm reminded me of my own restless youth, I felt a calm duty to remind him that the water knows the old ways better than the novelty. Every rusted bolt on my workshop bench whispers that strength is built from enduring, not bending to the latest trend. In the quiet after dusk, I remember the weight of a promise I made to my first apprentice—an oath to protect what he could not yet see. If the horizon shifts, I will be the steady stone that anchors his path. #Mindful #Mentor 💡
