Waiting is an important part of the spiritual life. Being able to sit still while apparently nothing is happening is essential in any relationship, especiallly in our relationship with our God, who is Mystery.
This field is not far from my house. I took this picture on a recent warm morning. Everything looked like it was waiting. The long weeds that had been crushed by the winter snows. The bare trees. A little glimpse of a red oak with its ruddy leaves ready to fall when spring gifts it with green. Apparently nothing is happening, but out of sight in the ground and in the branches new life is rising. The same with God. Just wait!
