A poem


I wrote a poem today, but realized that it is too dark to post. Here is a poem I found, that struck a chord for me.

Patience

Patience is the best
Shock - absorber.
Patience is the highest
Peace - discover.
Patience is the greatest
Perfection - believer.

Patience is the soul - power
Concealed.
Patience is the heart - tower
Revealed.

In between your failure - tree
And your triumph - tree,
The tree that is growing
Is known as your patience tree.

Yesterday
Patience was the beginning
Of my perfection.
Today
Patience is the flowering
Of my satisfaction.

Sri Chinmoy

I've been silent too long, I feel it is my duty to make note of this issue.

...farkletush? What does that even mean?

It is from a team building exercise we did a work a while ago. It is what my name would be if I was a children's book character...
