while i wait.

i almost forgot this:

Steadfastness, that is holding on;
patience, that is holding back;
expectancy, that is holding the face up;
obedience, that is holding one's self in readiness to go or do;
listening, that is holding quiet and still so as to hear.
- S. D. Gordon

to be steadfast, patient, expectant, obedient and listening while i wait.
