So the darkness shall be the light

I said to my soul, be still,
and wait without hope
For hope would be hope for the wrong thing;

Wait without love
For love would be love of the wrong thing;
there is yet faith
But the faith and the love
and the hope are all in the waiting.

Wait without thought,
for you are not ready for thought:
So the darkness shall be the light,
and the stillness the dancing.

- T.S. Eliot
