Herself has realized that as she has waded through her own sorrows and frustrations of late, that her patience for others -- even for her Beloved, who is closest and most dear to her -- has been quite short. She is bereft to think that she has treated him with anything less than the unmitigated kindness that he so deserves. She asks for his forgiveness and understanding, and vows to try harder to act and speak with the patience that is so warranted.
Grasshopper, seek first to know your own journeys beginning and end. Seek then the other journeys of which you are a close part. But in this seeking, know patience. Wear that travelers cloak, which shelters and permits you to endure.

I, too, am Grasshopper. Patience, indeed.
