Why to > How to.
This is the warning on every metaphor we can hold.
It’s almost countercultural to even speak about the slow, the steady, the time, the patience, and the persistence that is required in what we would cling to as beautiful.
What the world sees is this.
What really happens is this.
Most often to let the music play, you can’t simply just hit ‘play’, you have to let it unfold , till the soil, romance the instruments, and let time do its thing.
