Reason.

I used to think that people believed in the idea that “Things happen for a reason” merely to make the unpleasant tolerable.
I suppose it’s true though.
There seems to be a silver lining in every storm cloud, but then again bad weather has always made for good pictures.
I have begun to adopt the idea as truth, although the outcome weighs heavily on a desire and patience for the reason to come after the thing that has happened.

Patience is a noun, almost a question, and surely a skill.

If one can make patience in their self, patience can make good pictures. Don’t hurry.
I have a problem when I drive, I can’t stop. I’m on a mission. In my defense driving is an opportunity for me to think and be alone, but I miss opportunities in the car.
I told myself the next time I see an opportunity to make pictures I’ll stop, exercise my patience and pause from the rush.
