Why Does Oshun's Sweetness Reward the One Who Persevered? Irete, Irosun, and the River That Wears Away the Rock

Why does Oshun's sweetness reward the one who persevered? Because in Oluwo Jolaoso Osainbola's Odu corpus, sweetness is what the road produces in the person who refuses to stop walking it. This educational article (Oshun, round 4) is anchored in fresh source material not taught in rounds 1-3: The Original AI, entry 14 Irete Meji ('Osun, whose sweetness rewards the one who persevered - Irete is counted among her Odu in several traditions'; prosperity follows resolve; the river does not argue with the rock, it wears it away) and entry 5 Irosun Meji ('Osun, the river of sweetness and fertility, whose waters carry the bloodline's blessings'; sacrifice that nourishes vs suffering that merely bleeds; the river does not forget its source), with Oshun's identification from Sacred Pataki of the Orisha, Oshun chapter introduction. Teachings: perseverance is the channel and sweetness is the water; the reward is transgenerational; not all suffering is perseverance.
