Patience

In a cookie from last night's Number 1 Garden delivery, "Genius is patience." Patience, at least as an idea, has grown in depth and width considerably in the last month. It has become something like the Met, with various mezzanines and stories housing extensive galleries. Many of those exhibits had caught fire and been hosed down repeatedly. I'll need to go over them again very slowly and carefully many more times. Or maybe it's better to call it a book, or a neighborhood full of books, all of which had been left out in the rain.
