”Patience is the calm acceptance that things can happen in a different order than the one you have in mind.” – David G. Allen
Patience, especially with things we want, can be so hard to cultivate. At times, it can even bring us to question our purpose, wondering to ourselves “am I in the right place, doing what I should be doing?”
This is your Tuesday reminder that you are exactly where you should be. Everything in your life has led you to this point. Don’t give up on yourself or your path now, but have patience, actively looking for answers, in making do with the change of plans.
“Patience is not passive resignation, nor is it failing to act because of our fears. Patience means active waiting and enduring. It means staying with something and doing all that we can – working, hoping, and exercising faith; bearing hardship with fortitude, even when the desires of our hearts are delayed.”
– Dieter F. Uchtdorf
when I ran into you
there was no choice
You were everything I ever wanted
I have loved you for lifetimes
and I had waited 10,000 years to find you again
It was just there
as simple truth
revealed in my bones
in my breathing
in the touch of your hand on my skin
the smell of you
the force of the field which grew from us connected
but you had forgotten me
had forgotten how to trust love
you thought I was crazy…
I understand
you’re quite extraordinary
and the world takes a toll on extreme beauty
sensitive souls must cross their arms a lot to protect themselves
just to survive
usually ends in gnashing of teeth in the night
not so unusual in this cold, hard world
there will always be another problem to solve
another pancreas waiting to be saved from itself
staying on top of the pack requires a certain attitude
trying to win approval from a wounded parent
can be a lifelong trial of shadows
yes, I understand
so, I let you go
again and again
they say salt water and time
is the healer of wounds
God, please make it so
