About Being Patient

 Sometime it takes years and even decades for pieces to fall in place.  But the key is to not be angry while waiting.  Waiting can be stressful, but we need to give time for the Spirit to work.  Spirituality gives us that time.  Meanwhile life goes on and we find diversions while waiting.  Diversions can be work, family, or spouse.  In some cases it is a significant other.

But if we wait, the pieces will fall into place.  Meanwhile we can go through stresses, disappointments, and even calamities.  But we can stay calm if we let the Spirit work and not depend on ourselves.  Meanwhile, we’ll go through the judgements of others, but we have to stay focused and love ourselves.  We can’t let stresses become so overpowering we fall into depressions or worse.  

Happiness is about focusing on that which brings us joy.  I am at my best when alone focused on the Spirit.  We need time to focus.  That time can be minutes or hours but we need time.  In a world of instant information we are too absorbed to take that time.  I need that time to be alone and keep my focus.  

Sometimes pressures can be unbearable, but by meditation one learns to love oneself and in time pieces fall into place.  By meditating you decide you will win.  I chose to smoke a pipe while meditating.  It helps me relax and focus.  Today my pipe is my Savinelli St. Nicholas pipe.  Thank you for your time and Peace to each one of you.
