The farming analogy realy hits home. We're so conditioned by instant gratification that we forget growth requires those in-between seasons you mentioned. The idea that anything reaped too early is bitter resonates deeply. I think a lot of modern anxiety comes from trying to harvest before we're ready or before what we planted has had time to mature.

Beautiful essay! You hit the nail on the head. Patience isn’t easy … I know I struggle with it at times:) But nothing worth having comes easy .. or fast!

Yes! Exactly this! It’s so easy to feel behind when you’re in the season of waiting, but it really is up to you on how to grow even during the in-between seasons.
