I find that patience is a function of presence. When we are present in the moment, in the zone, totally focussed, we don't feel held back or as if we are waiting. Time eases its hold on us. Space begins to open up. And, sometimes, we just have to cool out jets. Earth is hurtling along through what we call space, faster than our minds can comprehend. I find that reference helps me to put my feet up, enjoy the rapids and the waves and go along for the ride.
