Waiting, being patient. I don't think I'm very good at patience. Depending on the situation it can cause me to have anxiety. So many different things to be patience about. Sometime I able, but other times I'm not. If I'm at a restaurant waiting a reasonable amount of time for the server to take our order is a time to be patient. But if I think its not a reasonable amount of time my patiene will run out. I think the key to paitence for me is letting go. I tend to want to control everything. Control and paitence obviously don't work well together. If I realize I can't control the situation then paitence comes much easier for me.

The hard part is the waiting. The not knowing. The space which your mind fills with visions of disaster or denial. Patience is the state of being in this liminal place with a quiet mind. This place is where we live every second of every hour. Patience is not waiting – patience is continuing to live even though we do not know when the other shoe will drop.
