patience...

patience precedes comfort

Last night when both my wife and I
were tucked in bed, the lights were out,
and we were ready to sleep,
my wife noticed something
very softly jumped up on the bed
and quietly lay down on the other side of her.

It appears that our one cat, Zembie,
was hiding under our bed and waited
for awhile before he decided
to sneak in with us.

"The two hardest tests on the spiritual road
are the patience to wait for the right moment
and the courage not to be disappointed
with what we encounter."
- Paulo Coelho
