Patience

You know,

another Virtue humans need to learn is Patience,

otherwise they have a very hard time.

Time is a very strange thing.

Depending on how we are thinking about it, we can make time go faster or slower.

When we don't want something to end, time seems to rush by.

Then when we want something to happen as soon as possible

time slows right down to a crawl.

That's when we need to be Patient.

It keeps the slow-time from driving us crazy.

And we have to have the slow time sometimes,

because it makes us better at what we do.

We need the slow time when we have to be careful,

and when people are living together they have to be careful

much of the time.

Being Patient helps us to avoid

being angry with one another because we see the world in different ways.

Being Patient helps us focus on things and keep them in our gaze.

Being Patient keeps us from throwing away what only needs a little more time.

Being Patient helps us stay still.

Being Patient helps us be quiet.

Being Patient helps us relax.

Being Patient helps us be at ease in times of hardship.
