patience

Patience is a funny thing.
Sometimes illusive, sometimes inescapable.
There are days when I am filled with so much endless patience that nothing can bother me. And yet, either that same day, or another, I can't seem to be patient in waiting for something.
My students, I think, take up all of my patience. Children in general have dominion over it. I can give out storehouses upon storehouses of patience to them, and then turn around and have none for the adult in my way.
People that are friends can have bunches of it at a time, mostly.
People that I don't particularly like can have tiny bunches at a time.
I'm sitting here and I have to wait for an object that I want to come in the mail. I know that it should come tomorrow, and yet I want it to come today.
This morning, at work, I had plenty of patience for the students who did not have on their listening ears.
These are just simple thoughts.
