PATIENCE
Patience, for I fear as we race along toward our reward it will wither away for all this rushing; hates beck and call.
Patience, has it has only been seven months sense Obama was sworn in as our President? You would have thought He was only weeks away from lame duck status. I wonder if we really deserve that which we fight for.
Patience, as I am afraid our side teeters on the sty fenced edge of a failure induced fight. You know, one of those turd throwing melees where everyone ends up smelling like shit. Oy vey! Root instead for deeper thoughts but wait for it as its shape might be found in forms indistinguishable.
Patience, what a loaded gun; bang, bang. I do not know. I mean what is the use of a loaded mind if one is never going to use it? Just do not point them at me unless you are going to pull the trigger.
Patience please; Senator Kennedy waited his whole life waiting on We. I have waited and waited at least half of my life: Jessie Jackson, Jerry Brown, heck even Jello Bafra, and finely President Obama. I really like how that sounds; President Obama. So now I wait for wars to end, cap and trade, universal health care, education, equal rights, the end of racism. Are they not public options all ?
Mostly I find patience must be my default name; given to the user anonumos. Well if I choose to use the handle "Goose", perhaps "Prime rib divided by an Imaginary Number", or say "anti-josh" would it be any different? It could be I am so excruciatingly shy that I am afraid to say who I am. I am the listener, a learner, the Lorax, the trees.
I am for patience, if you please.
Good night,
M. Paul

Thanx DD
I am not sure nice is what I was feeling while I threw this togather the other nite but it grew little legs durring editing last night. I just decided to post it here; like a little lost step child some of my thoughts are.
I was just reading the Washington Monthly and it seems the White house has been quitly writing its own health care proposal!

Of course patience doesn't mean inaction. I don't think either of are singers of "Wait 'til the sun shines, Nellie". Perhaps endurance is a better word..."he that endures to the end shall mount up on wings like an eagle."
A lack of patient struggle is what worries me--the number of people who are instant gratification addicts, and who go home or divert their attention to something else when their instant gratification fix is denied.

In the long run we're all dead.

Like dancing motes of dust we whirle and swirle with the currents; never settleing, never dead.
Well whatever.

At an historian that's a hard saying for me. How about never go back? We take are bearings from where we are and measure our movement from where we were.
