One who is patient glows with an inner radiance.
Patience has all the time it needs.
We need never be bound by the limitations of our previous or current thinking, nor are we ever locked into being the person we used to be, or think we are.
Do not speak about anyone who is not physically present.
We all have issues and we have usually come by them honestly.
Observing your thoughts, feelings & sensations is the grist of the practice.
