Let them be like grass in shallow ground
that withers before the harvest,
Before the farmhands can gather it in,
the harvesters get in the crop,
Before the neighbors have a chance to call out,
“Congratulations on your wonderful crop!
We bless you in GOD’s name!”
PSALM 129
Patience is drawing on underlying forces; it is powerfully positive, though to a natural view it looks like just sitting it out.
How would I persist against positive eroding forces if I were not drawing on invisible forces?
And patience has a positive tonic effect on others; because of the presence of the patient person, they revive and go on, as if he were the gyroscope of the ship providing a stable ground. But the patient person himself does not enjoy it.
PAUL GOODMAN
