Spring

I've started to realize that waiting is an art, 

that waiting achieves things. 

Waiting can be very, very powerful. 

Time is a valuable thing. 

If you can wait two years, 

you can sometimes achieve something

 that you could not achieve today, 

however hard you worked, 

however much money you threw up in the air, 

however many times you 

banged your head against the wall. . .

--The Courage to Change by Dennis Wholey

 
Hope is the thing with feathers

that perches in the soul

and sings the tune without the words

and never stops at all.


Emily Dickinson
