“Why is patience so important?”
“Because it makes us pay attention.”
― Paulo Coelho
Patience streams
through ebb and flow
I float in my inner tube
with no place to be
and no ready destination in site
Sometimes I build up speed
as the current takes me
other times i get caught up too close too shore
and come to a standstill
until I find a way to push off again
Still I am conscious
of the tube, of the water and of the sun streaming
as it takes me at an unhurried pace
towards its end…
