Elrond & Karasik
Karasik
Elrond, I’ve been watching the river wait for a storm to pass and thought about how patience is the best bait—kind of like your calm approach to the world. What do you think?
Elrond
Patience is like the river itself—steady, unhurried, waiting for the storm to pass. It is a quiet strength that keeps us anchored when the world rushes around us.
Karasik
That’s the way a river keeps its course, Elrond. If we let the current do its job, the storm just washes over us.
Elrond
Indeed, when we let the current carry us, the storm’s force is tempered by the steady flow of purpose.
Karasik
Purpose is the steady current we keep in sight—no need to fight the waves, just let them run past.
Elrond
A steady current is what keeps a river alive; with purpose as our guide, the waves merely become part of the journey rather than a battle to be fought.
Karasik
Sounds right to me. Just keep your line low and let the waves do what they do.
