Patience is a lovely practice.
It lets me breathe.
See and hear life around me.
Quiets all the busy thinking
of the chattering should’s
and shouldn’t have’s
rolling through
my mind while I wait for
anything, something, everything.
It let’s me breathe in life around me;
hear all the life around me.
Patience is a lovely practice.
“Patience is the calm acceptance that things can happen
in a different order than the one you have in your mind.”
~ David G. Allen, author
Excitement rolls with life’s punches,
waiting for a walk in the park,
the latest movie,
the bloom of fireworks
over the prairie.
Why wait?
Because life should be a surprise
spreading across your face
warming your heart.
Excitement rolls with life’s punches,
To ease pains of yesterday and today
To strengthen the soul for tomorrow
To remember the joys of every day.
“For here, I hope, begins our lasting joy.”
~ William Shakespeare
Caring for the hope
I have in my heart
helps me to find
slivers of joy in each day.
For joy is often in-glorious,
but is aroma of good food,
the kindness of friends,
the feeling of soft grass on bare toes,
a babies gurgling laugh,
the rhythm of well loved music.
When I add up all these sparks of joy,
hope is restored to know
there is always a next good moment.
“I inhale hope with every breath I take.”
~ Sharon Kay Penman, novelist
(1945 ~ 2021)
