Let them flow freely
gush fully and run madly only to stumble

seven times, getting up eight. The sages would smile. Your line made me think of a Japanese proverb, which stresses the importance of perseverance. 七転び八起き (Nanakorobi Yaoki) If you stumble seven times, get up eight.

Loving without doubt
Mallards glide on Molly’s Pond -- Six ducklings in tow. (Molly’s Pond is in Cabot, VT.)

Good enough to thrive.
Seeds resting in garden soil, awaiting warm rain.

Do not hesitate.
The time for growth is so short-- Bloom where you’re planted

Bloom where you’re planted
