"Don't curse your fate, because
you know exactly what you've got,
but not yet what you will get;
maybe you'll get your way
and another fate: worse."
These were the ones who cast
for Impatience, on the day
that he was very dissatisfied
with his fate, his destiny.
They told him to be careful
and not hasty, because he who
unthinkingly changes fate or destiny,
runs the risk of making matters worse!
Ifa says that this client
should not run in circles, should not
do things like an automatic robot,
and that this client should smile
and simply survive the bad times,
for the good ones will come.
Look, Ifa says, it seems
that nothing happens, but you can't
expect thunder when the sky is blue,
and in the dry season
no rain will fall.
Use this period of stagnation
creatively, to gather strength
for when the tempest comes!
Ifa says: make sacrifice,
in order to be prepared to dance
when the wild music starts again.
