Allow your verdicts their own troubled development

Which like all progress must come from deep within and

Cannot be forced or accelerated.

Everything must be carried to term before its born. ()

Come to completion inside,

In the the dark, ()

Unattainable to one’s own intellect ()

To wait

With deep humility

And patience

For the hour

When a new clarity

Is

Delivered ()

These things cannot be measured by time

A year has no meaning, and ten years are nothing. ()

Like a tree which does not hurry the flow of its sap

And stands at ease in the spring gales

Without fearing that no summer will follow.

It will come. ()

To those ()

Patient ()

Simply there in their vast,

Quiet tranquility

As if eternity lay before them.

It is a lesson I learn every day amid hardships I am grateful for:

Patience is all
