“I am merely at the midway point in the novel of my own life. On around page 250 of a 500-page tale and, given future medical advances, maybe even 200. There’s no reason why the next 250, 300, or even 350 pages will not be far more exciting than the first half.”

“Fear is not to be overcome, or dreaded, or avoided, or expelled from our life; neither is it to be our dwelling, obsession or constant companion. But it should be respected, recognized, and humbly listened to for its singular solemn advice. Indeed, it's wise and cautionary warnings should always be heeded. Fear was designed to function as a familiar adviser, an overly critical, cautious, conservative friend - not our foe. When it is accepted, and appreciated for what it is, fear is a sage, a warning system, and one of our oldest, most experienced guides. When it holds itself at bay as necessary, it is like the security detail that waits at some serious attention in the back of the room, ever watchful, ever ready, benign, non-threatening - until circumstances require its sensitive, timely services.”

“Oh, Loni, I don't have the patience to read anymore. My eyes get so tired."
So what the hell will she do all day? Watch game shows? "All right then, I'll read to you." I open one of her poetry books and read a favorite passage. "The work of the world is common as mud---"
She interrupts me. "That's um... that's um... Marge Piercy." And then she goes on to recite the next three, transcendent lines.
I nod. "You got it, Mom." So she's not completely gone. I just have to stay calm when she's cranky, and read to her. Maybe my dad was right, all those years ago, when he encouraged me to see an invisible reservoir of good in my mother. It's like waiting for those cool pockets of air in the steaming swamp---they're unpredictable, but ever welcome.”

“We often don’t have the patience to wait. We want some control over the outcome. We want to know the outcome. We believe deeply that if we could just know the outcome we will make it through. We treat God like a vending machine with an expected outcome after we put our something in. When we do this our relationship with God is transactional.”

“Waiting requires patience. There are three words in that sentence that nobody likes.
Patience is not passivity. To be patient doesn’t mean you get to be idle and wait for something to change. I don’t get to “let go and let God.” I can’t “easy button” this to God. As if I actually could. I must stay in the tension.”

“We place an intention into the world-a wish, a prayer, a dream, and then we wait. In our culture of instant results, waiting can feel like failure. Yet waiting is its own kind of art. It is a posture of trust that something unseen is unfolding even when nothing visible happens. It asks us to surrender our timelines and to be fully present where we are”
