Wherefore he ran before, and climbed up into a wild fig tree, that he might see him: for he should come that way."
Luke 19:3-4, 1599 Geneva Bible (GNV).

"What does patience mean? It means to look at the thorn and see the rose, to look at the night and see the dawn.

for they know that time is needed for the crescent moon to become full."
Rumi
