All growth comes with a shock. When a sprout breaks its casing and forces its way to the surface of the earth, it is the climax to a long and deep accumulation of life force. We may think that it came up suddenly, but in actuality, it emerged as the product of unseen and subtle cycles.~ from 365 Tao: Daily Meditations, Entry 6 ~
this is very deep. things that appear to be sudden are in fact the products of a long and slow process and are part of a bigger picture. the shock comes from realization- human beings are wired to notice suddenness and ignore things that change slowly.
