Patience

Above our bed on a pale blue wall, placed too high and a little bit crooked, a framed poster with the title Patience hangs--a pretty nature scene with a waterfall. Below the picture the quote reads...

Patience
To everything there is a season and
a time to every purpose under heaven.
Ecclesiates 3:1

How appropriate as we are now in a holding pattern here in the crossroads town of Siliguri in the state of West Bengal, India.

Our first meal in a small eatery. I had veg-aloo (potato) with rice and a small bowl of yellow lentil dahl. The workers were friendly and eager to please, especially the young boy.

  1. To everything, turn, turn, turn
    There is a season, turn, turn, turn,
    and a time to every purpose under Heaven.
    A time to build-up, a time to break down.
    A time to dance, a time to mourn
    A time to cast away stones,
    a time to gather stones together.
