“Everything is gestation and then bringing forth.”
— Rainer Maria Rilke
Simplified Meaning:
Just like how a baby first grows inside the mother before being born, many things in life follow a similar pattern of developing behind the scenes before becoming real. Think of a garden: first, you plant seeds, water them, and wait patiently. The seeds grow roots and begin to sprout underground, out of sight. Only after this hidden growth does the plant break through the soil and come to life as a beautiful flower or vegetable. In our lives, ideas, projects, or even personal growth often start in a quiet, unseen stage. Maybe you have a goal of opening a business. You’ll spend time learning, planning, and preparing without anyone seeing your work. Eventually, your efforts will come together, and you’ll open your business, much like a plant finally showing its flowers. So, patience and preparation are key. Understand that before you see results, you need to give things time to develop. This way, when the right moment comes, your efforts will turn into something wonderful and visible to everyone.
