At the crossroads stood three signs.
One pointed left — Slow.
Another pointed right — Fast.
The third went straight ahead — Natural.
The left road was crowded with rules, systems, crowd, and long waits.
The right was noisy — full of pressure, over-stimulation, loneliness, and endless competition.
Both promised progress, but neither felt alive.
Only the middle path was quiet — no rush, no delay.
Just rhythm, curiosity, and trust in the child’s own pace.
That’s the real direction of growth —
not slower, not faster,
but true to nature’s timing.
Because when you walk straight,
you move exactly as fast as life intends.
