her secret was her patient pace
When I was a little girl, one of the most frequent pieces of advice I would constantly hear from my grandmother sounded like this:
" Patience is Rewarding" . . .
In this day and age, with instant gratification at our fingertips, how do we teach this valuable lesson to our children, or practice it ourselves?
. . . not an easy feat . . . sometimes just being with nature, experiencing the seasons, weathering the storms, and patiently waiting for spring . . . helps . . . easier said than done!
On Easter Sunday, these wispy reeds *whispered* to me . . . bend with us, feel the breeze, accept the moment!
"Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson ~
"Only that thing is free which exists by the necessities of its own nature, and is determined in its actions by itself alone." ~ Baruch Spinoza ~
"This is the highest wisdom that I own; freedom and life are earned by those alone who conquer them each day anew." ~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe ~
