Have you noticed...

we humans are the only part of Nature that are always in a hurry....hurry for everything....

Plants - not even one leaf will sprout unless the time is right...It won't even poke it's little node out. It will wait till it is time for it to emerge. It's the same with the tiniest plant and the biggest tree. They will grow at their own pace. No amount of external 'help' will make them grow faster or bigger. They will grow as they should, when they should.

Likewise with animals - an animal will not rush around. It rests, and snoozes, and eats, and walks about if it has to. The only time an animal will act is when it is threatened, or it is stalking its prey. At all other times it is peaceful.

But,

Humans - oh how we rush about and worry so. We're in a flap about one thing or another a lot of the time....maybe most of the time. God has given us the power of intelligence, the ability to think and many talents. But we....we are in such a flap so much of the time that instead of enjoying these gifts and concentrating on using them for our own good and the benefit of everyone, we put ourselves into states of anxiety and disquietude, we get into contentious arguments and controversies and so foolishly spend our gifts and our time...
