this week was pondering Princess Mary saying "our roots are always growing" &
"not to dare to begin is to lose oneself" ~ such a gracious, poignant & beautiful speech!
also, watching a Russian watercolorist beginning her live video by saying, "I've been dreaming of this all day! .. .i love watercolor because i have to be patient & calm" ~ & I've thought about patience in that context, how patience is not just about waiting to arrive, {aren't we always waiting.. .to grow up, finish school, get married, have kids, get a car, buy a house etc etc etc}
but about gathering & collecting {life, experiences, talents, knowledge etc} along the way, about taking our moments & using them, wisely & well
life is not just about arriving, but about becoming {good & kind & thoughtful & able}
& there is so much good we can do each day without having "arrived".. .have courage in patience & make those moments count!
make them beautiful! .. .plant some roses, read a book {when all else fails, pray!} & pretty soon there will be a garden of flowers where, only moments before, a patch of dirt had been.. .
have a gentle day brave hearts!
sending all my best
<3
