Waiting with a resilience of spirit, in the certain knowledge that, if we wait long enough and if we
are true to ourselves, then things will make sense, is waiting in hope. And this is the work of the
prophet -- living in hope.

I said to my soul be still and wait without hope

For hope would he hope for the wrong thing:
Wait without love
For love would be love for the wrong thing; there
is yet faith
But the faith and the love and the hope are all in
the waiting.
