I ponder the virtue of patience, especially in this time of life when it feels like everything is speeding up exponentially. The definition of patience is to accept or tolerate trouble or suffering without getting angry or upset and I came across the most wonderful example of patience while in the high Canadian arctic...the Arctic Woolly Bear moth. This moth is best know for its slow rate of development spending the majority of its 7 year life cycle frozen. It eventually becomes a moth but only for a few weeks. This insect is an attest to the patience we all hold within us. It reminds us to breathe, slow down, and surrender to what is, to what is in front of us, to what is here right now!
