An absolute
patience.
[…]
So absolute, it is
no other than
happiness itself, a breathing
too quiet to hear.
– Denise Levertov, from “The Breathing” in Poems: 1960 – 1967; “O’ Taste and See”

Patience–decidedly *not* my strong suite–but if you and Mimi are giving it a run, so am I! 🙂

I find impossible anything with the word “absolute” before it. Even at absolute chaos, surely there is more that can happen!

Thanks for sharing. I have pulled a muscle and can’t run but I really want to! Am terrible at being patient with illness/injury! I have just started a poetry blog here on WordPress in case you have time to have a look? Have a good afternoon, Sam 🙂
