I would dig the hole in the corner where the bush had been.
I would plant it.
And then I would wait.
Because waiting was the thing I had learned.
And because waiting, when you have done the work, is not passive.
It is the specific faith of someone who has planted a thing and who knows it will grow.
That was the whole thing.
And it was enough.
And it was mine.
And it was everything.
