"Go slowly."
This is superb advice in almost any circumstance.
I'm finding, at this advanced juncture, that even when
I'm late and hurrying so as not to keep someone waiting,
this counsel is most helpful.
"Consent to it
But don't wallow in it
(I'm holding myself back from adding punctuation)
Consent to it feels different from accept it, doesn't it?
It adds a sense of agency and openness to discovery of something unknown.
It naturally follows to. . .
"Know it as a place of germination
and growth"
Personally, this is where patience appears
and asks to be practiced.
"Remember the light"
May our memory be strong enough
to remind us of light filled moments throughout life.
"Take an outstretched hand
if you find one"
And if you don't, trust yourself.
Take care of your precious self.
"Exercise unused senses"
Listening comes to mind,
as does feeling what's happening
inside my body...something I tend to ignore.
Find the path by walking it
Feel your way...by touch
and by instinct.
"Practice trust
Watch for dawn"
From time spent lying awake at night,
I want to add patience to the practice of trust.
And watch for dawn like we're watching for goodness.
They are both dependable; dawn being predictable,
while goodness is random and often a surprise.
Namaste

Be forewarned...I would not consider it uplifting.
