This month’s topic from HIW – The Difference Between Patience & Waiting (Soul Star)
Ooooh – I love the topic this month. Must be coming up for my inspection. I’ve a huge tendency to be impatient. If I’m working on something, especially personal inner work, I want to get it done. I want “it” to be completed, finished, accomplished, worked through, beaten down and cried over, so I can move on. Most of the time I’d say I’m not even clear on just what it is I’m wanting to move on to but that never seems to mitigate the impatience!
I decided to look up the dictionary definitions for a little distance and some clarity.
Waiting: the act of remaining inactive or stationary. Synonyms: Queuing, biding, sitting, lurking.
Patience: bearing pains or trials calmly or without complaint. The ability to wait or to continue doing something despite difficulties. Synonyms: Forbearance, long-suffering, tolerance.
This made it easy for me to tease apart. Waiting and queuing are an ingrained part of the British culture, and although I believe people may be getting a little less sanguine about all the necessary queuing, they’re still accustomed to and tolerate it. Make no mistake though, that tolerance does not extend to anyone ‘queue jumping.’ It will be made known, with a loud “Oi” and in no uncertain terms, just exactly where the back of the line is and that queue jumpers should have no doubt about making their way in that direction! 😂
Based on the two Patience definitions I would say “what a perfect description for a Pisces!” I tend not to bear trials or pains, or indeed many, many other things, without complaint, and, I constantly receive compliments for my jewelry about just how much patience I must have to work with such tiny beads. Here’s a little sample of my beading “patience.” 😂 I actually don’t need any of those traits for long suffering, tolerance, nor forbearance. This work is something I love. The more complicated the pattern and smaller the bead, the better I like it!
