Ripples v9.24: Patience!

Ripples v9.24: Patience!
6/11/07: a free weekly splash from Paul & The Ripples Project

Eventually all the pieces fall into place. Until then,
laugh at the confusion, live for the moment,
and realize that everything happens for a reason.

____________________BOULDER ____________________

Patience serves
as a protection against wrongs
as clothes do against cold.
For if you put on more clothes
as the cold increases,
it will have no power to hurt you.
So in like manner you must grow in patience
when you meet with great wrongs, and
they will then be powerless to vex your mind.
-Leonardo da Vinci, submitted by Anne R., Concord MA

____________________PONDER ____________________

Sometimes you need to take action,
make decisions, push the envelope.
Other times you need to sit back
and practice PATIENCE.
How do you know when to do what?
That skill will grow,
if you could just be more, well, PATIENT!

Peace,
Paul
