What are you waiting for?
If patience is a virtue, the Sonoran desert is virtuous
The plants and animals there are almost always waiting.
They wait for rain,
wait for night,
wait for transportation,
wait for spring, or
wait for conditions to be just right
so that they can live life in a hurry
and then return to waiting.
