Walt Whitman’s A Noiseless Patient Spider hits differently as I get older. It's one of my favorite poems. It reminds me that every day, we cast threads—into jobs, relationships, ideas—hoping they connect, hoping we grow.
We’re not waiting for change. We are the change. We are the source of our own becoming.
If you’re mid-leap, mid-thread, mid-void—keep going. You’re not lost. You’re building.
