When a stream is stirred by rain, it does not argue itself clear. The silt settles on its own schedule. Your thoughts are not so different. They want time, stillness, and the kind of attention that does not hurry them into shape.
Today, notice the pace that is natural to your work. It might be slower than your calendar allows. That is not a failure. The good parts of thinking—the parts that last—often form when no one is looking. A few careful lines are better than many rushed ones. A quiet hour is better than a noisy afternoon.
You can help clarity along without forcing it. Clean your desk. Close the spare tabs. Choose one question, even if it is a small one, and keep it company. The arc of understanding is short when it has fewer places to tangle itself.
There is relief in not needing an answer right away. The answer will come, and you will meet it more fully if you let the water clear. You do not need to be idle to be patient. You only need to be steady, and willing to see what rises when you stop stirring the stream.
