"The sea does not reward those who are too anxious
too greedy
or too impatient.
To dig for treasures
shows not only impatience
and greed
but lack of faith.
Patience, patience, patience
is what the sea teaches
patience
and faith.
One should lie empty
open
choiceless as a beach
waiting for a . . .
gift from the sea"
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
