I enjoyed Chinese cuisine for lunch today.

A fortune cookie lifted my spirits: "Begin....the rest is easy," my little oracle of pulp declared.

True enough; but beginning also requires patience. The gardener might rush to plant a seed, but the flower will not rush. The flower will abide its time until it can bloom in peace and earnestness.

We are all flowers in this sense. We must learn patience.
