Patience helps…

Culling through old journals and posts, looking for patterns and themes, hoping for revelations. Here’s today’s takeaway:

We cannot know why we are born a certain way,
but if we are patient and trusting,
we will come to find purpose.

What a beautiful image. Patience. Trust. Purpose. A triumvirate worth striving for, even when it’s a struggle.

Indeed! And if we stick around enough years we’ll likely discover additional purposes, callings. Some surprises!
Fantastic image – the colors strike me as “Spring”, which – like purpose – will reveal itself in time. Patience, patience …

  That’s the good thing about life – the surprises. We had a peak of Spring yesterday with milder temps, but snow is back today, sigh.

Yes, and hopefully that purpose will always be shifting as we grow.

Wise words. I would add that patience takes time to cultivate. We’re certainly not born with it!

Dear Child

I know a little girl,whose hair in ringletsfalls, unkempt from lackof brushing; who standswhen she should be sitting;who laughs with defiance whenchallenged, her dark eyes gleamingwith mischief; who holds her chin uphigh and stamps her feet, arms foldedin protest when she does not get her way. I see that little girl,have watched her play,with a […]

Re-de-fine-d

Ask me how I’m doingand I’ll say “fine”, notbecause I’m actually fine,but because “fine” is the onlysocially acceptable response. If I said that I have been lyinghere, for three hours now,willing my body to move,that would elicit unsolicitedadvice and tarnish my “fine”. I’d berate myself for breakingmy promise not to moan,knowing that complainingprovokes a compulsive […]
