WATCH PAT KAA BWILE



Soup's on, who is hungry?

Jamaican style chicken soup - no those are
not lips, it is a real Jamaican Scotch Bonnet pepper!

"Watch pat kaa bwile."

Translation:  Watch pot cannot boil.

What does this mean?  When you "watch" the pot it seems to take longer to come to a boil, particularly true when you are boiling something that takes long to get tender, like the beef  for the Jamaican beef soup.

Application:  This proverb is about patience!  Everythings has it's time frame.  It will be done when is done, do not be anxious.  "I cant wait for this to happen, or that to happen".  "Life will be good when this or that happens."  Enjoy the process and be patient.  The time passes whether you are anxious or not.  Anxiousness produces unnecessary stress so why not learn to go with the flow!

Enjoy your Sunday afternoon,
