The practice of patience is slowing down by breathing slowly, then noticing our breathing and pausing, Each time an impulse arises to do something, to say something, slow down using the breathe, breath and pause before acting. We’re less likely to be reactive.
Patience, by Jewel
they say its a key
but I don’t need to unlock it
when I’ve seen
what’s behind them
it doesn’t prevent it
but rather demotivates
me
Yet I sustain
my hope
and wonder.
I push on
until I set off
and I do so
with as much knowledge
in my head
as I have power
in my legs.
