Breathe

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

Why Wait?


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
