Patience is not sitting and waiting, it is foreseeing. It is looking at the thorn and seeing the rose, looking at the night and seeing the day. Lovers are patient and know that the moon needs time to become full.
Rumi
Sister has asked me to create for her a long sound bowl bath on my YouTube channel. She enjoys these frequency-baths very much and wants something she can listen to as she nods off, something that is still playing should she awaken through the night.
Ya know, something 8 hours long…
Immediately I got to work! Creating, editing, looping, uploading, uploading, uploading.
UPLOADING.
Little was I aware that the uploading process would consume 36 hours of my life! Little was I aware that my browser was set to “go to sleep” every few minutes… which meant that, to maintain a connection for uploading to occur, I had to “wiggle the mouse” every few minutes… for 36 hours.
36 hours, people. 36 hours.
Well, the good news is… I’m nearly there! I’ve discovered a few things on this adventure:
- I can reset my browser to stay the eff awake for an hour before I have to mouse-wiggle. This, of course, I learned AFTER the 36 hours. :-0
- I am a really patient soul. I breathed into each hour, thankful for one more down and this-many-more to go… I amazed even mahself. 😉
- I love my sister… well, duh, knew I loved her… but there bubbled up within me a Love that surpasses understanding… like a dog with a bone, a goddamn mama bear… a protective, relentless spirit arose within me that I knew was there for my children but hey it’s here for Sister too… ❤
The work has been intense, the labor long and tedious, but the fruit on the tree is pleasing and worth it all. I’m just so excited to share this labor of love and patience with Sister and my YouTube community.
Patience does not mean to passively endure. It means to be farsighted enough to trust the end result of a process.

Every single on of these souls is worth all my efforts… for truly, we are One. When any one of us is healed, cared for, tended to, gifted… WE ALL ARE.
That said… I am off for a nap as I anticipate with sheer excitement the culmination of many hours of work, a ton of patience, and one really great idea (thanks, Sis!) 🙂 ❤
If today you find yourself on the giving end, thank you. I receive your Love. On the receiving end? Thank you for accepting my Love to you. We are ONE… and here’s a work of art: 8 HOUR SOUND BATH … aaaaaand here’s a hug.
Edge-y, joyful, pondering…
