Nature freezes what cannot survive being rushed.
Not everything that stops is weak.
Some things stop because continuing would destroy them.
This pause is not gentle.
It is protective.
Life pulls energy inward
when exposure would cause damage,
when movement would mean loss,
when blooming too soon would cost something essential.
Nothing here is late.
Nothing here is broken.
This is restraint.
This is intelligence.
And if you are in a season that feels frozen,
it may be because becoming any sooner
would hurt more than waiting.
