I was reminded of the scripture “The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love” which occurs multiple times in the Bible. It is as if being slow to anger and abounding in love go hand in hand… do they not? Love is slow, as you have said, it grows over time and transforms into deeper and deeper versions of itself.

Profound. Will be saving this, rereading this. I am a person with disabilities who still has trouble accepting my “different” time. And as for change, institutional change…indeed the adage “haste makes waste” is particularly relevant here…
