evening reading "Impatience is close to boredom but always results from one cause: an underestimation of the amount of time the job will take. you never really know what will come up and very few jobs get done as quickly as planned. Impatience is the first reaction against a setback and can soon turn to anger if you're not careful" - Robert M. Pirsig: Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.

How true. A few weeks ago I would have read through this passage without noticing much, but tonight the words reached out of that book, and touched an understanding that has started to grow in me.  ¶ 1:19 AM
