I suppose my life would be calmer if I had more patience. My philosophy is time is for filling, life is for living, land is for tilling, love is for giving. There is no waiting, only an opportunity to do more. There is work enough to do.
If I want a better community I better start building it. If I want more members, I better go find some. If the seeds haven't come up yet, I sow some more, or mix some soil, or prepare the beds, or build some cold frames, or set up the watering or... There is always further to go, more to improve. And if I have all that I need, I get the greatest opportunity of all, to give it away.
But I always wait until the weeds get bigger, too. I've got better things to do until then.
