At this point I have seen so much craziness I don't think much could shock me (hope I didn't just jinx myself).
Early on it tore me up pretty bad. I guess I've learned how to do my own thing and ignore her to some extent.
Have you ever been hunting? You must learn to sit very quietly and still and let the game come to you. It's really cool. For me it wasn't about bringing home game. It was about disappearing into the environment and then observing. The neatest thing I ever experienced was a bird landing on my right shoulder.
Oh well. That was a long-winded way of saying I have learned to practice the art of patience.
I also must confess that early on in all this I heard these things:
Be patient. This had to happen. Do what Jesus expects of you.
Instructions on how to respond. Explanation of why it happened. Guidelines on how to conduct myself.
What more could I ask for?
"The answers are within you" (can't remember who). Unfortunately, so is the bullshit.
