patience

apparently i'm supposed to learn patience. my search for those CDs i wanted to hear yesterday turned up nothing. so, i decided to download them from iTunes. now, after having done so, i find out i'm not allowed to put them on an audio CD. why? i don't know. it's weird. all i do know is my iPod is at home and my wireless connection there isn't stable enough for me to download a whole series of CDs. so, patience, apparently is the lesson.

yesterday i did listen to a CD by a woman named byron katie. she went through a period of physical blindness, which has since been corrected. reflecting on the experience she said, "whenever i ran into a wall, it would just let me know i needed to turn right or left. i never met a wall i didn't love." i like that sentiment.
