Patience is not the ability to wait, but to keep a good attitude while waiting.
not me – until a few years ago
Here’s the deal. With Mars as my chart ruler and all the way up there in the 10th and 11th houses, well, patience is going to be something I learn not something I’m born with. Fact and true story, dat.
Yep, a messy damn thing, me being human.
But I’m “getting there” though where ‘there’ is is anyone’s best guess… I am more patient in these past few years, more grounded, observant, open, and willing to allow and even embrace exactly what’s unpacking in the moment. No more trying to wiggle and struggle, pry and supplicate for anything differenter than what is.
All this to say… it’s taken 30 years for us to get heat in our barn. Today, the plumbers are out there and by end of day, that beautiful ol’ horse barn is going to be warm enough to house my Vibrational Sound Therapy business, my fitness equipment, an entertainment area for our future grandbabes, and a space for small retreats and guided meditations.
I couldn’t be more excited and thankful!
For 30 years, I’ve desired this… and one obstacle after another blocked its manifestation. A couple of months ago, the ocean parted and we tentatively began our march across to the other side… yeah, that’s dramatic… but, ya know, THIRTY YEARS of waiting will do this to a soul.
Our patience will achieve more than our force.
Edmund Burke
Dear Universe and Me, thank you for the barn, for the heat in it, and for the lesson in growing in patience. There really IS something so incredibly empowering about being able to breathe through a situation, not react, not insist on my own way, and not melt into victim mode at the first sign of difficulty.
If today you find yourself at the end of your patience rope, I get it. Breathe. Ask yourself if this situation will matter in five years, five months, five days, five minutes… and know that I love you, I see you, I feel you… and together, we can remember our patience-super-power… and here’s a hug.
Edge-y, joyful, pondering…
