L'aura del Campo

Patience...

... is a virtue.

Patience...

...needs to hurry up and show up and let me get on with my life! 😇

I'm seldom patient. Like... sometimes when I'm on the plane, snug in my seat, I want to get off and push...

Today, I await the arrival of a friend. In Costa Rica that means "whenever". Time here can be fluid, flexible, impossible to hold on to.

He'll get here when he gets here. Hopefully in time for lunch. ☺

I have no plans and in some ways I'm fine with that. At least I can breathe! Had problems breathing in México. Here in San José I must stay aware of the volcano Turrialba. It's in eruption and fine ash bothers me. May the winds blow the other way.

Same for the grit of global or local politics. Patience... and endurance... helps one withstand these storms. I learned while driving a car that an abrupt u-turn wasn't always the wisest choice, especially on ice, nor the highway the fastest. Sometimes one gets caught in traffic, herded like sheep. I keep an eye out for exits. But even then, patience is a virtue when steering through bad weather or political upheaval.

Today the sun is out and it's mild and I can breathe. And certain family and national issues seem safely far away.
