Patience
"Have patience with all things. But, first of all, with yourself."
-Saint Francis De Sales
We wait for the sunshine of today to turn into a stary moonlit night. We wait for harsh wintry weather to change into blossoms of spring with fresh fragrances appeasing the air. We wait for rough storms at sea to turn into fresh, calm water so that we might enjoy seaside trips. Yes, we wait for days to pass, months to go by, and seasons to change. We wait without fully understanding how it all comes together.
In the same way, many periods of our lives require that we patiently wait. During these times, it helps to focus on nature, the seasons, the ebb, and the flow of life. Regardless of what we need to wait for, be it a job, a test result, or a creative breakthrough, it makes more sense to trust in the same process of nature, to believe in the unseen guidance at play. It makes more sense to rely on our own inner strength to move us through the often long, uncomfortable waiting periods. We learn to endure life's experiences a little longer while knowing deeply it will get better.
