In relationships, as in nature and business,
one cannot produce fruit without first planning, planting, nurturing, and waiting. If one is lucky, the fruit is proportionate to the effort.
One can't draw interest without earning it: making a deposit and waiting - and even then the interest is dependent on the one entrusted with the deposit and proportionate to the amount deposited.
One can't get a life-sustaining return without first choosing, investing, and waiting - and the return depends on the wisdom of one's choice, the amount invested, the level of commitment to the investment - and grace.
