Hello,

My name is Daga.

I'd like to share a short piece I wrote as a reflection on patience.

Patience is not an expectation of a certain reward,

Nor is it a demand for things to be a particular way,

Nor is it waiting for this one thing to happen.

Patience doesn't feed itself on results,

And it is not deterred by pain,

Nor is it discouraged by misfortune.

It is a gentle acceptance of life unfolding in its own rhythm.

It is a loving embrace of discomfort and uncertainty with trust and confidence that whatever arises is right.

It is the freedom to take the next breath,

The respect for the truth of this moment.

It is the ease of not forcing.

It is the openness to flow.
