'There is a time for everything...'
-Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
What happens to a cake that's prematurely removed from the oven...to a letter sent before it's finished...to a baby that's born before its time?
The same thing happens to relationships solidified over a foundation of fleeting passion which, like mud, swallows and stains it all in the blink of an eye.
Time can often be seen as an enemy, but it is not. Time is actually our biggest ally, as it lets things come to fruition. From romance to forgetfulness, from forgiveness to healing, they are all gifts adequate time in waiting gives us.
Are we talking? Dating? Together? Separate? Enemies? What the hell are we?
What does it matter? It's only a word, a fleeting word...what matters is the feeling behind it.
Patience is a virtue that brings happiness, peace, and love. It fuels desire and strengthens it.
Patience gives a blacksmith the time to create the most solid of armors and the strongest of weapons.
Lesson learned: Never again will I force a castle's door open, lest I forget how beautiful the entrance can be.

My favorite analogy about impatience is breaking open the egg to get the chick but finding only yoke.
Impatience can mean a lack of faith in the idea that good things will come our way. If we were confident of this, wouldn't we let the "blessings" unfold in their own perfect timing?
