Waiting is an art that our impatient age
has forgotten. It wants to break open
the fruit when it has hardly finished planting the shoot... Whoever does not know the austere blessedness of waiting -- that is, of hopefully doing without -- will never experience the full blessing of fulfillment.
--Dietrich
Bonhoeffer, Christmas Sermons
