Farmers know the value of patience. Everything in order, nothing rushed, life proceeding at the same speed as the turn of the seasons: slowly but surely. Seeds sown in late winter, minutely sprouting as the earth warms in the early-year sunshine, watered and fed by the spring showers, then growing, ripening, until it is finally time for harvest, many months later. The cycle of life cannot be rushed. Things happen when they happen.
- From Yves Lampaert, The Cycle of Life
