The river doesn’t hurry, it waits for you to see the pattern. I sit a while, watch the surface, feel the dip in the water. When the current starts to pull in a different direction, I notice the subtle shift—like a ripple that’s already spreading. I listen to the hush, the sigh of the banks. That’s how I read its rhythm: by staying still, listening, and noticing the little changes that hint at the next move. The same steady patience can keep your code calm—look for the small signals that things might shift and adjust before they break.
