A story of Iwa Pele (Gentle Character)
ÌWÀ PẸ̀LẸ́ – Gentle Character. Throughout our lives, we strive to attain this level of gentleness and balance. Elders told the story of Iwa, the most beautiful woman in her village, and whom everyone wanted to marry.
It was Orunmila who eventually married Iwa. Orunmila was the only one to make the proper sacrifice to marry Iwa but to marry Iwa; there was one request: that Orunmila should never mistreat Iwa or raise his voice at her. Years into the marriage, Orunmila returned home, and his food wasn’t ready. Orunmila was so upset that he began yelling and fussing about his food not being prepared.
Iwa took the abuse, patiently prepared the food, and Orunmila sat down and ate. The following day Iwa packed her belongings and returned home to heaven. Later, when Orunmila realized she had left, he searched all over for her and eventually found her in heaven. Orunmila begged her to come back to him. He promised he would change and asked that she be patient with him. Iwa said she would not come back with him but would be with him in spirit. This IFA story speaks of patience, losing out on what could have been because we need more patience to follow through.
