Speaker 1: Us Studios. There is a quiet sower in you that
Speaker 1: has been planting seats your whole life. Not the loud kind,
Speaker 1: not the kind that demands to see the harvest by morning,
Speaker 1: or by next quarter, or by some deadline you set
Speaker 1: for yourself in a tired moment. Just the kind that
Speaker 1: puts things into the ground of your days and turns
Speaker 1: away and lets the dog do its work. You have
Speaker 1: been planting things even when you did not call it
Speaker 1: that patience in hard conversations, kindness, on the days when
Speaker 1: you were running on very little, the slow, on glamorous
Speaker 1: work of showing up again and again for someone who
Speaker 1: needed you, or for a version of your self you
Speaker 1: were not yet certain would arrive. You have done this quietly,
Speaker 1: often without things, and without ever demanding proof that any
Speaker 1: of it took roots. Tonight, if you can let yourself
Speaker 1: stop checking, stop digging gently at the soil of your
Speaker 1: life to see if the things you planted are growing,
Speaker 1: the truth is they are. They have been growing in
Speaker 1: the dark where you cannot see. Roots moves lower than hope,
Speaker 1: but they are moving. Some of them are just now
Speaker 1: threading their way through soil you forgot. You have prepared
Speaker 1: in parts of your life. You have stopped visiting. There
Speaker 1: is a kind of rest that does not require seeing.
Speaker 1: That is the rest offered to you here, not the
Speaker 1: rest of waiting for results, but the rest of trusting
Speaker 1: the unseen.
Speaker 2: The rest of knowing that your sowing has meaning, whether
Speaker 2: or not the harvest comes this season, whether or not
Speaker 2: the harvest comes this decade, whether or not anyone ever
Speaker 2: thinks to say the word thank you.
Speaker 1: You are not behind the seeds, do not know your timeline.
Speaker 1: The sorry is not in a hurry. The sun is
Speaker 1: not in a hurry, and the quiet sower within you
Speaker 1: is not failing. Only faithful, faithful in ways that do
Speaker 1: not always announce themselves, faithful in the way that water
Speaker 1: is faithful to a seed showing up, whether or not
Speaker 1: anyone is watching. Let tonight be the kind of rest
Speaker 1: that does not require proof. Let the seeds be seeds
Speaker 1: a little longer. Let the dark keep doing what only
Speaker 1: the dark can do. You do not have to stay
Speaker 1: up counting sprouts. You do not have to send one
Speaker 1: more message, write one more plan, or revise one more
Speaker 1: promise into something shinier. The sower has done enough. The
Speaker 1: work of sowing is finished for today. The watering will
Speaker 1: happen in its own time, in its own way, through
Speaker 1: hands and seasons. You cannot yet see. The harvest, if
Speaker 1: it comes, will come. The harvest, if it does not
Speaker 1: come in the form you imagined, will still come in
Speaker 1: some form you will recognize later, when you are f
Speaker 1: a enough away from it to sea. Clearly, you can rest. Now.
Speaker 1: The sowar within you has done enough. The ground is
Speaker 1: holding what you place there. The night is doing the rest.
Speaker 1: Settle in. You have planted enough for to day.
