The Virtue of Patience

Thought for this afternoon ….. Patience.

When we have to bear certain circumstances usually beyond our control and sometimes just within our reach, our patience is tested. It can mean the difference in how we interact in the Universe. As I was reflecting on my own life at this moment I thought of a Warrior, the courage and steadfastness on the journey. Love is always patient and that is where I try to dwell…. then I found these two quotes:

The strongest of all warriors are these two — Time and Patience.
LEO TOLSTOY, War and Peace

Patience is cultivated in the storms of your own heart and mind.
CHRISTINA FELDMAN, Compassion

Digging deep this afternoon ♥ ♥*´¯*♥ ♥

TGI(TODAY)

Dwell in the possibility of your inner journey … allow yourself to feel and experience all it is. Be brave, steadfast, and love yourself unconditionally…. all of the parts that are you. Life begins when you accept the challenge to LIVE and love with all you are and be who you are. ♥ ♥ ♥ Instead of TGIF …. TGI(today)

Adversity and Challenges

In life, it is those trying times that test our resolve to live, to love, to be loved. Vulnerability isn’t something that is easy to attain. Our nature is to put up the walls and defenses on the premise of survival. What are we really surviving if we aren’t open to all that life is? And all that love has to offer!? I am thankful for the people in my life – you lift me up, make me laugh, share in my joys and sorrows and most of all challenge everything I am, so that I may learn and nourish my soul daily. Namaste’

Mindfulness

In the midst of chaos, find peace. In the midst of pain, find comfort. In the midst of sadness, find light. The Universe conspires to bring us exactly what we need in the moment, we just need to pay attention and be present to find our center. Practice mindfulness and non-judgement everyday – this includes being kind to our own souls! Namaste’ ☮ ♥*´¯*♥*´¯*♥ ☮

Storyline

Intricately entwined,
spinning thread
into a story yet
to be told.
Hoping for the playbook
with adventures
instead of answers.
Abandoning control of all
thoughts, ideas and
notions.
Free to experience, to honor
and take flight, the journey
of your soul.
 

The Flight

 

Sundance

Sundance through a rainbow

in a Technicolor world,

seeing the cosmic glitter of the stars,

as I look into your eyes.

Flutter across the Moon like a

butterfly in flight.

Glide across the ocean waves as our

souls meet and journey through the night.

Effortless, as love, settles in our hearts and then,

living, loving, laughing –

Amazing grace and calmness,

from the places we have been.

Courageous Love

When you allow love to reach the depths of your soul,

You begin to heal the fragments of pain that tend to sneak

in and attach at the core – trying to disrupt the joy that resides there.

Unconditional love requires great strength, courage, and perseverance.

The reward it brings is sometimes beyond the realm of reality,

Almost bordering fantasy, but well worth the experience and

trials of the journey.

A refreshing light inside – lending a dream to the dreamer

and a pallet to the artist.

The reality of it is there if you allow it and BELIEVE.
