The water gushes, in full force, with all its might and power down the hill, cutting stones, shaping rocks. It violently and fearlessly makes its way, only to be brutally barred with a barrier. A heavy wall that sustains it. The same gushing water is muted, stilled, silenced and impounded by the awe of just one big wall against it. It wants to continue with all its power, but doesn't because it can't. The wall silences it.
Just like when we're learning with full force, experiencing what we might not have ever before, the wall of our patience stops us from gushing out our learnings. It sustains till the learnings are well accumulated, its dirt settled at the base, the knowledge surfacing on ground of it. Emotions filtered from learning, inferences well drawn. Till all this, the might of patience keeps standing. Firm and Strong in the way of expression. While just like water, each moment seems the king, the optimum of learning, of insight, of answers, the might of patience keeps holding. It then, releases the learnings, slowly and gradually. to the audience unknown. Like a beautiful pattern of streams and rivers, it reflects the purity of wisdom.
Patience turns those moments of learning to the lifetime rivers of wisdom. Each time you ask Him, He thrashes you with answers powerful like gushing water. It not only tests the power of your patience but also your ability to shape the learnings into wisdom and understanding. Slowly, Gradually and Silently.
The more you ask Him for Him, the more He gives you of His human's; with a devoid which, if felt, is the answer to feeling Him. Perhaps, that's it. In it, somewhere, you experience Him. The real joy.
