Words to remember

I said to my soul, be still, and wait without hope
For hope would be hope for the wrong thing: wait withour love
For love would be love of the wrong thing: there is yet faith
But the faith and the love and the hope are all in the waiting.
Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought:
So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing.

T.S. Eliot, "East Coker"
