The twigs of springtime do not push against the weather, trying to get into the front of the line. There is no line, there is only the slowly increasing angle of the sun and its energy for growing as the season transforms toward that moment when the air is soft and warm.
The cats do not push against anything, even the cat door, unless all is as it should be. I often have to relearn from them how to slow down, give full measure, wait until the coast is clear.
Always I am learning patience from my painting. I cannot easily comprehend the months and months it takes to bring a photograph back alive, so I only see a few inches at a time. My whole task is to slow the eye down and give good weight.
Distribution of the Journey Oracle Divination Deck is my most recent teacher for learning to be patient. And this is about the biggest lesson of all. Trust. Because I suspect patience is built on trust. Trust that all will unfold in its best time, and in the best version of its highest intention. Trust that we each are in the right moment and the right place. Trust in knowing that sharing my journey with the oracle is for the highest good.
