Patience, Sham Tabrizi, quote

“Patience is not sitting and waiting, it is foreseeing. 
It is looking at the thorn and seeing rose, 
looking at the night and seeing the day. 
Lovers are patient and know that the moon needs time to become full.”


Dear Sham Tabrizi,

this is all true.
but we can also see spears growing out of the forest,
machine guns out of caves
and blood sweeping over the fields and soaking the soil,
the stench of decay coming out of trenches
and it is hard, it is hard to be 'patient'.
this is...also true.
both are true.
this is life...
