[Quote No.53382] Need Area: Mind > Persist
"[Poem: about being patient - which is the 'sister' of persistence. If you have done or are doing what is reasonable to do to achieve what you desire so the wheels are in motion then best thing to do is not to stress over the outcome. In fact if you can think or do other things the time will pass faster and you'll be happier. Of course this is not an excuse to be lazy and do less than rational, which is why I have removed the second verse.]
'Waiting'
Serene, I fold my hands and wait,
Nor care for wind, or tide, or sea;
I rave no more ’gainst time or fate,
For, lo! my own shall come to me.
...
Asleep, awake, by night or day,
The friends I seek are seeking me;
No wind can drive my bark astray,
Nor change the tide of destiny.
What matter if I stand alone?
I wait with joy the coming years;
My heart shall reap where it has sown,
And garner up its fruit of tears.
The waters know their own and draw
The brook that springs in yonder height;
So flows the good with equal law
Unto the soul of pure delight.
The stars come nightly to the sky;
The tidal wave unto the sea;
Nor time, nor space, nor deep, nor high,
Can keep my own away from me.
" - John Burroughs
(1837 – 1921) American naturalist and nature essayist, active in the U.S. conservation movement.
