230717 What I learned in my studies this morning 3

Drive. Practice patience.

Expect delays. Embrace them.

Grumbling kids. Love them.*

Thoughts:

Packing for the drive home. Trying to get our smaller version of our stuff back in order so we might return it to the bigger pile of our stuff.

Today may be one gripe after another. One construction delay followed by more. A single inconsiderate driver presaging many, many more.

I knew this is coming. I signed up for it when I decided to go on this trip. Why would I let myself become angry because the world is full of real humans and not the perfect automatons I might wish to encounter today?

I live in the real world. I'd best learn to deal with it.

* That haiku was accidental. I was beginning this meditation and it was part of my thoughts when I realized that the cadence fit the scheme and it got promoted from prose to poetry.
