I still want solutions. But what I asked for this week was steadiness. Enough steadiness to remain soft. Enough steadiness not to turn uncertainty into punishment. Enough steadiness to keep moving through the waiting without making my whole inner life revolve around control. That feels like a quieter faith than the one I once wanted. And a stronger one. Maybe that is growth. Less noise around belief. More trust inside it.

Dear Delyara, I still want solutions. But what I asked for this week was steadiness. Enough steadiness to remain soft. Enough steadiness not to turn uncertainty into punishment. Enough steadiness to keep moving through the waiting without making my whole inner life revolve around control. That feels like a quieter faith than the one I once wanted. And a stronger one. Maybe that is growth. Less noise around belief. More trust inside it.
