On Timing

The fire is there. The meat is on the grill.
You could turn it now. Or wait.
Too early — it stays raw.
Too late — it's gone.

In Croatia, grilling is not a side thing.
Fish needs a different fire than meat.
Not every heat fits everything.

Cut vine shoots give fish exactly what it needs.
A steak asks for a different heat.
A peka needs wood that holds.

None of this happens on its own.
You watch. You adjust.
You keep your distance. You guide the heat.
Not control it. Guide it.

The right moment doesn't come from thinking.
It comes from attention.
From respect for the fire.
For what is on the grill.
And for the time it needs.

Many decisions don't fail because of their content.
They fail because their timing is off.
Too early. Too late. Too close to the fire.

Here, you learn to look again.
Not everything needs action right away.
But when the moment is there,
you have to take it.

Then you turn it.
And it works.
