Prodigal: This is taking forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Me: Patience, patience<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is from Ruskin<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s no music in a “rest,” but there’s the making of music in it. And people are always missing that part of the life melody, always talking of perseverance and courage and fortitude, but patience is the finest and worthiest part of fortitude, and the rarest, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And after six days Jesus taketh\u00a0with him<\/em>\u00a0Peter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them.<\/a> Mark 9:2 (KJV)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
