What the drum taught me about time is not to rush.
Its rhythm carries the reminder that everything has its own pace, its own unfolding, just like the water, the wind, the fire, and the earth.
I keep reminding myself that it is okay to take time. That it is necessary to guard my boundaries. That I walk this path not to rush ahead, but to feel grounded and whole within myself.
And still, I notice how often we forget. We forget that slowing down is not weakness, but a form of wisdom. We forget that listening to our own rhythm is one of the most sacred things we can do.
Everything unfolds in its own tempo and time. Like the water that flows, like the fire that burns, like the wind that moves, and the earth that holds us steady.
All in rhythm,
all in harmony,
all in the heartbeat of life,
just as the drum reminds us
