I Ching

And when two people understand each other in their inmost hearts,Their words are sweet and strong like the fragrance of orchids.

When flowing water...meets with obstacles on its path, a blockage in its journey, it pauses. It increases in volume and strength, filling up in front of the obstacle and eventually spilling past it...Do not turn and run, for there is nowhere worthwhile for you to go. Do not attempt to push ahead into the danger... emulate the example of the water: Pause and build up your strength until the obstacle no longer represents a blockage.

Waiting is not mere empty hoping. It has the inner certainty of reaching the goal.
