Patience to be

Have the patience to be. Let yourself experience yourself as you are, in the world as it is.

There are numerous improvements you can make. Yet there exists even more goodness that currently is.

Go deep into the existence that already envelops you. Appreciate the now that encompasses so much life and value and substance.

Relax the stiffness in your jaw, and let go of the constant thought that you have to be somewhere. For you are somewhere, and it is well worth the entirety of your attention.

Allow yourself the satisfying wholeness of being. Stop needing and seeking long enough for a healing dose of life’s magnificence to settle upon your soul.

Gift your life and your world with a little bit of pure patience. Discover again how beautiful it is just to be.

— Ralph Marston
