On Patience

"Wherever you go, there you are."

"Patience...is a remembering that things unfold in their own time. The seasons cannot be hurried. Spring comes, the grass grows by itself. Being in a hurry usually doesn't help, and it can create a great deal of suffering--sometimes in us, sometimes in those who have to be around us. Patience is an ever present alternative to the mind's endemic restlessness and impatience. Scratch the surface of impatience and what you will find lying beneath it, subtly or not so sublty, is anger. It's the strong energy of not wanting things to be the way they are and blaming someone (often yourself) or something for it."

This has helped me today. I am impatient to be well but I'm afraid i have a few montsh to go if not more. It took 3 years to break my body down again with overwork, over exercise, medication and alcohol, overdoing it all around and it will most likely take at least a year to be really well. So I must be patient as I watch others whirl around and have fun. It is not my time. Friends I have left by the wayside to do this thing I have to do alone as a friend told me. It is painful and sad and my dog keeps waiting for me to take him places. I can't. The toxins go slow as they exit even though they entered rapidly
Peace.
