Interesting musings. i think patience is about quelling your ego and being present, without looking for gratification.
Yes, patience is having a long term goal and knowing the universe has your back.
Your conclusion would be the opposite of patience. for example i have recently studied counselling at university and it requires great patience to be fully present with and focused on a client.
Agreed, conscious communication definitely requires being grounded in the present. I think I worded the ending a little weird, but the gist of what I was getting at is that less random stuff seems to ever really bother me (in regards to the everything else becoming kind of irrelevant part).
