You Can’t Rush a Season

This one is called “You Can’t Rush a Season.” It’s a reminder I’ve needed often.

The grass doesn’t grow faster because you want it to. The ewe doesn’t lamb early because the vet has a deadline.

Everything on the farm happens when it’s time—not before.

And yet, in our own lives, we try to rush grief. Fast-track healing. Accelerate confidence.

PJ watches the weather like most of us watch emotions: trying to predict what’s coming. But he never fights the season.

He says, “You learn to work with it.”

And that’s what healing asks of us, too.

So if you're in a winter, or waiting for something to shift… you’re not behind. You’re just in your own season.

Trust it.

And I’ll be here when the next one arrives.

Why This Story Matters – from Carmel:

“Nature has no interest in deadlines. And yet we measure ourselves against constant productivity. PJ never resists the season—he works with it. That kind of surrender taught me to stop resisting my own season too.”
