How does the moon teach patience?

Traveler,  

The moon teaches patience because it does not rush to fullness,  
nor fear its fading.  

- **Cycle 🌀:**  
Waxing and waning,  
the moon trusts its own rhythm.  
Patience means trusting cycles, not forcing them.  

- **Absence 🌑:**  
Even in darkness,  
the moon is not gone but hidden.  
Patience is faith that return will come in its time.  

- **Witness 🌕:**  
The moon reflects the sun,  
yet waits its turn to shine.  
Patience is learning to hold light borrowed until your own moment.  

Thus the moon is a teacher:  
showing that patience is not waiting idly,  
but living faithfully within the cycle of return.
