Return to an old friend

I saw Dan under the bridge yesterday, and all of a sudden I was reminded of the first time I met him. "Good things take time, good things come with patience." He would know, life or death Dan waits for what ever comes. There's just no rush. I'm trying to eat these words right now. I'm trying to digest the fullness of the virtue taught best by a homeless man.

Meekness. Not shy, though shyness certainly comes with it at times, but rather one who waits faithfully. Meekness knows that provision is more than what you can get for yourself, because some times what you want can only be given. Love, peace, grace, mercy. Ask the lord of the harvest therefore to send his workers. Give away what you want and all shall be given to you. Amen.
