Looking back at our blogs – the persistent theme is “waiting” . . . and I was reminded of a beautiful piece of writing from Fools & other stories by Njabulo S Ndebele:

If the fish in a river
boiled by the midday sun
can wait for the coming of evening,
we too can wait
in this wind-frosted land,
the spring will come,
the spring will come.

If the reeds in winter
can dry up
and seem dead
and then rise in the spring,
we too will survive the fire that is coming
the fire that is coming,
we too will survive the fire that is coming.
