i've heard that about a gazillion times, but never really thought about the fact that it really is...a virtue, that is....right along with temperance, diligence, chastity, cherity, kindness and humility.
the 7 virtues, the temporal opposites of the 7 deadly sins or vices. the yin and yang of catholicism.
the definition of patience is...the state of endurance under difficult circumstances, which can mean persevering in the face of delay or provocation without becoming annoyed or upset; or exhibiting forbearance when under strain, especially when faced with longer-term difficulties.
getting back to my previous post on wrath...the 'truth' that i seem to be seeking may not be anything from my past, i think that it would be pointless to go digging up old bones when all i need is to do is BREATHE
could it be that simple?
i am reminded of a dave matthews song, 'big-eyed fish'...i am including it on my jam list, which you can find on my page...have a listen if you don't already know it
ah, simple pleasures!
I can't see the jam list.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to blogland. I like your header, and that you've found a place to write.
ReplyDeleteI'm reminded of a "prayer" : God grant me patience. And please give it to me right now! Amen. ;-)
PS: I can't see your jam list either.
i want the golden goose, daddy! :)
ReplyDeleteum...i see my jams (maybe a hallucination?)
will check on it...
Well hello, A.D!
ReplyDeleteNope, no jamming over here, either. Maybe it doesn't cross the Atlantic?
