Patience a Virtue
Patience is something I'm only beginning to acquire and appreciate as a virtue. Having spent time working with Indian tribes has something to do with that, but also the comprehension that what we are dealing with is changing an entire way of life, not merely the programs of an existing malign culture.
We, and those who come after us--through research, education, organizing, and community action--have to affect a conversion of consciousness as a matter of survival. Like Jimi Hendrix said, we can choose the love of power, or the power of love, but not both.
