Patience is hard.

Patience is hard. And, related, so is taking the long view of things. Seeing the forest for the trees, and all that. It’s a skill that I have to practice all the time because, despite my advanced age, I still kind of suck at it.

Maybe it’s related to how emotionally “squishy” I usually am. Like, my heart is really just out there for everyone to see, which is probably not the best way to conduct my emotional life but at this point I think it kinda is what it is.

What’s my point? I don’t know, actually. I’m just feeling especially impatient with people today and trying to calm my shit down, breathe, tell myself it’s all going to work out one way or another.

I just wrapped my arms and gave myself an actual big hug and I do feel a little better…

The full moon shines, a golden pearl
against the salmon pink early morning,
hanging full and ripe
above the Sonic Drive In
