On Growth

The garden is not new.
It has grown over years.
Not everything in it was planted by you.
And still, you take care of it.

You water. You cut. You keep it going.
Until at some point, it becomes clear:
It grows. But it does not feed you.

Then it is no longer about more care.
Not more discipline. Not more effort.

It comes down to one question:
What is allowed to grow here?
And what is not.

Growth does not come
from keeping everything alive.
It comes from rearranging the garden.

Not immediately visible.
But sustainable.
