Patience has definitely been a theme in my life. I like to think I have a lot of patience. This has not always been a good thing. Sometimes one can have too much patience, and it can seem to mutate into laziness or passivity. That is probably the dark side of patience for me.
Also, patience implies waiting for something that will take place in the future. But now I am seeing that patience is a very important part of living in the moment. To have patience is to truly live in this moment, without waiting for anything else to happen. Patience is a choice. I choose to be patient now.
The day of the solstice seems like a good time to practice being still, and to honor the virtue of patience.
