Peace and Patience***

Sometimes you are impatient
For things that you know are what you need in life.
But there is no rush
And you don’t always know what is best for you.
As we do…
For we see more than you can ever know.

Be patient and wise.
Your wisdom will prevail.
It will show itself even as you tap your toes
Wondering why all is not as it should be in your life…

The best things come to those who wait!
You know that.
Anticipation is everything
So do not rush into your life headlong and out of control.
Do not rush blindly.
Only fools rush in.
Instead STOP.

Slow down
And walk one small step at a time.
That is patience
And it will serve you well
For if you walk more slowly
You will be able to see
The ground where you are walking!

You will see the obstacles,
The dangers,
And have the opportunity to avoid the pitfalls.
You will have time to make decisions -
Whether they are the right ones or not, only time will tell.

But it is important to know what you are trying to achieve
For how can you achieve something
If it has no shape or form or substance?
How can you aim for it
If you know not what it is
Or where it is?!

If you know not its shape
How will you know when you see it?
When you stumble over it
Travelling at your breakneck speed?!

It is time to slow down –
That quiet place inside is calling.
Calling for peace and solitude
To play a bigger part in your life.
And the sooner you follow your heart,
Your instincts on that,
The sooner you will arrive at your destination.
You wish to get there quickly
But the quickest route is by staying still.

Peace, quiet, patience, perseverance.
All of these will serve you well
Now and in the future.
So do not be forever in such a hurry
To get through everything.

There is much for you to learn still
About this way of life
And it is a foundation for what lies ahead.
So you must not rush it,
For if you do not lay the foundations properly
The rest will collapse later.
You know the truth of these words.

You are continually changing,
Growing and healing yourself.
It is all the same thing.

As long as you move forward
Does it matter what speed you travel at?

Wouldn’t you rather see the landscape
as you travel your road?
Wouldn’t you like to enjoy the view
And remember the journey?
Of course you would!

Slow down!
Lower your expectations
And enjoy what is all around you.

Rejoice at the miracle of where your life is going.
A year ago this was not possible.
Now look at it!

Anything is possible if you stay open and positive.
Peace and patience, Sweet Child,
All is coming your way.
Peace and patience, my love
