Sometimes Dreams Take a Long Time to Come True

Let us, then, be up and doing
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.
-- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

This summer (maybe even my whole life?) has been filled with an abundance of laboring.. and waiting. The waiting has been numbing, and at times, deeply distressing. But it's precisely during these times of waiting, that I can set my heart at steady, and be open to things I may have missed (or refused to see) along the way.

With a deep breath, an open heart, and a lightness revealed from knowing that the things I want most in life require the highest amounts of patience and endurance, I keep working, and continue on.

Be well.
