patience Quintessensual Patience Patience is a virtue the nuns, even if knowing, caring not what we'd be waiting for, taught us to grit our teeth to practice; so that I do now, while sweating tomorrows' exundish mists with morning shortbread cakes I wait to buy, for you, with coffee from grounds fresh I wait to make, for you, and all the sweet excitement exploring so many things, with you, between now and every then; but never too early, rest is as important as patience, you know, after collapsing exhausted together from such intense heat.

There is no unambiguous cartesian-coordinated destination. It's like driving. Driving and passing. People don't necessarily speed because they are late (although this can well be the case). Those people who are just habitually passing and maneuvering and pushing and prodding their way, impatiently, forward -- it's not to get to the end the fastest, but to be in front; to have that space, and that freedom, and be not forced to go at anyone else's pace (even if it turns out that that pace is pretty much the same pace as you would choose anyway -- which explains those people who pass you just to go the exact same speed). 001019 ... Dis "You kiss me so perfectly, it's what I always imagined it would be like to kiss myself." At first I wanted to laugh, I thought he meant he was the perfect kisser. No, he means the way we move together, the way we play in synchronous nibbles and smacks. "And the way you know where to stroke behind my ears. You went right for it, that one special place that no one knows to go." "I've read the book," I joke. Flipping him over, I pin him on his back and sit atop his chest. "This isn't what I want," I protest, "You shouldn't be here now." He knows what I mean. Had he not been lost, I'd have never taken him in. Had he not been so forthright, I'd have never been enchanted. It wasn't supposed to be this easy, I'm not supposed to want him yet. "No worries," he assures me, "I've got plenty of time." And that's the way it is with him. There aren't any worries. When I'm uptight, he works me back out; when I'm angry, he calms me; when I panic and feel trapped, he lets me loose and tells me he'll be waiting. He says he knows this is right, and he's got references to prove it. (For what it's worth, I'm starting to believe him.) 010625 ... baby satan "patience is a virtue," said grandma. then we went to look at the tomatoes. 010625 ...

"be patient," grandma kept repeating, "he'll wake." she said that for 80 days. mostly because she was emulating the record player that grandpa shoved up her ass back in the 50's. grandpa, undead, recollects; "ah, yes, the record player incident. we were snorting sushi, discussing rabies, not a day has passed that i don't remember my fuckin name." "well that's alzheimer's," the purple swan figurine inserted.

It is not about feeling good. It is about endurance. Like patience, passion comes from the same Latin root: pati. It does not mean to flow with exuberance. It means to suffer." * *Daphne Kaplan's The Courage to Withstand (Hopewell, NJ: Ecco Press, 1996), p. iii. 030319 ...
