Waiting

  "Patience is not simply the ability to wait, it's how we behave while we wait"

  My latest painting  "Waiting"  has inspired these thoughts within myself.   Even while we are painting, we are waiting for the paint to do it's magic.  Waiting for the paint to dry before adding the next coat.  Waiting for the inspiration, the process, working towards the finish line.  Then there is that time in between, where you question the process and pause before moving forward.

  So many times we ask for something and the waiting almost seems unbearable.  I don't know about you, but that time in between is where I seem to fail in my faith.  

I think patience is about the attitude, not the simple act of waiting.  There is that time of pause and play, in art and life itself.  

I guess the time in between is where we find our strength.  Pushing on and moving forward while we patiently wait for things to happen.   Exercising our faith, the substance of things hoped for.  "The evidence of things not seen."
