Spirit of PatienceWaiting, hoping, holding,Seeking to be more than we are,To open a door and fly through it,To get from here to where we need to be,Though it all feels so far out of reach.I am ready to be there,Wherever “there” may be,Atop whatever hill it may be beyond,Descending into the deep valleyOf blissful accomplishment.But O! To find Patience!To look at where we are,And to say, “I’ve made it this far.I can go further tomorrow,And I can rest today in my progress.”I call to you, Patience,And tell you I am prepared:Prepared to wait for you,Prepared to work for you,Prepared to rest for you.Prepared am I, Patience,For your lessons, and your time.I practice your craft,And I praise you where I find you.

Special thanks to Rev. Avende for creating the challenge for all of us in #ADFDruidry and beyond. I’m a winner this year, and I hope you’ve enjoyed these prayers. If you did, maybe take a look for the book, due out soon, that will include all of mine from this year and last year, plus several more.
