Patience
One of my challenges in this lifetime is learning patience….patience with myself…..patience with the unfolding of life….patience with my creative process….
Spending quiet time observing nature—watching a robin patiently waiting for the right moment to grab a worm…..watching the process of the opening of a flower….or watching a turtle diligently make his way along his journey…...these times bring me awareness of the natural rhythms of life and I feel more patient within myself.

very well said Jan…
i am still learning to be in the moment….
it is a glorious feeling to still yourself in nature…
there is acceptance of self that occurs by doing so ….
