Do You Have the Patience to Wait?

 Some of my friends have contacted me worrying about my last post.  I did not mean to alarm anyone.  One of my theories of life is the endless parade of lessons we are so generously presented with on a daily basis to further our spiritual growth.  I know any one of my apparent "problems" is really a spiritual opportunity for me to evolve and grow as a human being and as a spiritual being.  Sometimes the lessons are very obvious and I have written about these before.  And often times they are much less obvious.  They require contemplation, prayer and brutal honesty.  The good thing is the only person I need to be brutally honest with is myself.  It's always about me and me alone.  Others may play a role in my little dramas but alas, they are only there to mirror back to me something I need to attend to in my own life, my own heart, my own soul. 

The Tao always seems to point me back in the right direction.  It is simple, elegant and uncomplicated.  Just like I want my life to be when I grow up.

Do you have the patience to wait
till your mud settles and the water is clear?
Can you remain unmoving
till the right action arises by itself?

The Master doesn't seek fulfillment.
Not seeking, not expecting,
she is present, and can welcome all things.

I so love this -- actually this and the one previous. You have the gift of knowing what works for you and taking responsibility for yourself. Your outlook and philosophy I share. I just wish I were better at living my talk!!
