The path of patience is long, but brings benefits not found when we clamor for instant gratification. One of the benefits of places developed patiently is that they have many stories to tell, because much like a child growing into an adult and then through later stages of life, a patiently-developed place will become many things over time, and the people who call it their own will have memories embedded in those places it has been as it matures. Buildings follow a similar path, with many incremental changes over time if they are Adaptable. Nature assists as well, adorning buildings with patina tracing how they have matured over time.

These ideas support the Patience ideal of the Original Green. The Tales are on Original Green Stories, while the Tools are in Original Green Resources. Several of these ideas support other ideals, foundations, and the Living Tradition Operating System because the Original Green is massively interlinked, so you'll see them listed wherever appropriate.
