In The Garden with Murshid Sam Quotes

“I feel like a gardener who planted a bunch of seeds and nothing came up; and again the next year he planted a bunch more seeds and nothing came up; and again the next year more seeds with the same result; and so on and on and on. And then this year, he planted a bunch of seeds: not only did they all come up, but all the seeds from the previous year came up and all the seeds from the year before, and so on. So I've just been frantically running around trying to harvest all the plants until Allah came to me and said, "Don't worry. Harvest what you can and leave the rest to Me.”
― Samuel L. Lewis, In The Garden with Murshid Sam
