The quote is timely for the season with acorns, maple “keys” my grandkids make helicopters out of and sunflower seeds.
It took me awhile to visit, Laura. I’m so glad you had this, waiting for me to read.

Very inspiring story and thank you for passing it along.

Excellent expansion on the seed quote…helps fill the gaps I felt on the ‘while the tree is only waiting to die’ portion of the quote. Thank you for bringing this here, Andy.

I had tended to view waiting as mere passivity. When I looked it up in my dictionary however, I found that the words passive and passion come from the same Latin root, pati, which means “to endure.” Waiting is thus both passive and passionate. It’s a vibrant, contemplative work. It means descending into self, into God, into the deeper labyrinths of prayer. It involves listening to disinherited voices within, facing the wounded holes in the soul, the denied and undiscovered, the places one lives falsely. It means struggling with the vision of who we really are in God and molding the courage to live that vision.
