“Patience is the companion of wisdom.” ~Saint Augustine
No true wisdom can ever be gained by rushing through life. What is required is the patience to stop every once in a while and to reflect upon your life
.
When we come into the present, we begin to feel the life around us again, but we also encounter whatever we have been avoiding. We must have the courage to face whatever is present – our pain, our desires, our grief, our loss, our secret hopes, our love – everything that moves us most deeply. ~Jack Kornfield
