It’s the highly esteemed virtue—
the companion of wisdom,
the friend of perseverance,
the key to peace,
the first rule of trust,
the fuel for success,
the road to love,
and the gate to happiness.
Am I missing something?
Oh yes—
it’s the prayer we repeat,
believing it’s been heard
and will be answered
at its perfect time.
Now, do you know what the art of waiting is?
It’s patience.
And it is really hard to master this highest form of art.
But, sometimes, people test your patience until you can’t hold the horses anymore. You won’t just let the horses go wild, but you might burn the bridges or, like Samson, destroy the temple.
Perhaps that’s why patience can’t thrive without faith.
Aren’t the patient the most blessed?
With hope and peace,
Nahla
