Our patience
becomes an inconsequential act of restraint
when those we are struggling to assist
view the graciousness we have rendered
as the window of opportunity
to act upon their postponed
inevitability.

First, this is poetic! I like it.
Now, if I am reading this correctly, is this a poetic way of saying, “No matter how patient you are with someone, they are going to do what they are going to do, anyway?”
No. If they use our graciousness as the window of opportunity to respond to our patience, our purpose is served and their response will be purposeful.
I enjoyed your response Russ, and I always welcome a comment that makes me think, and in turn calls for an answer.
Thanks.

The imperiousness of others overrides our gentlest reaching out, slapping out of our hands the offered kindness in their postures of self-sufficiency.
The thing that keeps us trying are those remembered few, that have responded, with a heart full of graciousness.
