Spirit, show me the way to patience that unlocks and harnesses magic into positive change in my heart, mind, and soul.

Does reading the word “patience” make your shoulders tense and your whole body cringe?

I hear you. I do. Patience is one of those “virtues” that is spoken and written about as if it is some glorious path to the Heavens.

And I suspect it is. As long as patience doesn’t lead you to laziness or a rut. I know about Miss Patience because I have walked with her, held her hand, allowed her to couch surf in my home, and even welcomed her to take up residence for longer periods in my life.

Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.
— Jean-Jacques Rousseau
