When patience finally pays off, when the many fruits of a long labor are ripe, when sweet rewards fall from the sky like rain on a hot summer day, when distance is abolished and life becomes simple and fluid, when sunsets turn into sunrises, dusk into dawn, when regulations and bureaucracy return to the dark stinky closet they should never leave.

In the meantime we push on, always forward, without resting, somehow breathless but teeth clenched, tired but ever so resolute.

The time will come.
