In modern archetecture that doesn't sound very exciting, but when I look at the ancient temples, pillars are pretty impressive -- even in ruins.
The roof gets to see the sky, but the pillars hold it up. Simeon got to see baby Jesus, but who taught him to be patient and faithful? You don't know his parents' names either, do you? We recall Francis of Assisi, but who taught him to listen to God?
We don't notice those "who only stand and wait," but perhaps in heaven we'll be amazed at those pillars that seem unspectacular right now.
