We live in an era

Where everything appears 

Instantly. 

Expecting all of life

Should be this way. 

**

Waiting. 

A lost art these days. 

Our emotions can rise up

With the smallest delay.  

**

Yet, in Your Way

Time centers on 

This day alone. 

Inviting Presence.  

**

So let me learn 

Not to rush ahead. 

Nor stay behind. 

But just rest here

And now. 

**

For change will come 

Quickly or slowly 

In Your perfect timing 

As we cultivate 

Patience.
