Patience has grown
on me this past year.
Since going 4-wheel free.
I’ve come to find the sweet
spot in the Time things take to DO, on foot, by bus, without the quick fast
convenience of hopping in the car to GO or DO.
I’ve learned to
Make DO.
I embrace the opportunity to DO Without.
I gravitate toward the
singular enJOYment of Enoughness.
I’ve discovered
that much of what I had thought spontaneous or flying-by-the-seat-of-my-pants was
actually compulsive unconsciousness on steroids.
Patience has shown
me how delaying gratification actually expands it.
Exponentially.
BEyond my
wildest imagining even.
Sometimes I’m “forced”
by my choice of circumstance to recognise who I was BEfore I chose this way of
living and BEing.
Even when that makes me squirm more than a little bit, I am
on BEyond grateful for the realisation.
Perhaps the very
best of Patience’s gifts to me is the opportunity it provides me to Pause,
Think, Consider, and Sleep On BEfore Acting.
It is remarkable
how changed a thing looks a day after I was certain I MUST HAVE/DO IT…
Patience comes in
handy in so many ways I’d never have imagined.
Sometimes it works its magic on
ME, which is sheer deLIGHT, once I get past, well, it is sheer deLIGHT, I’ll
leave it at that…

It is funny how things changed for me, too, being housebound. What you can do without when you only order groceries once a month...what you used to think you had to do and places you had to go...waiting for buses and reading books...being much more content with what I have...it's all good. And, yes--when you have to wait a lot longer to get this or that, you do appreciate it even more. I find I am even more easily delighted than I was in the first place--LOL! ;)
