Everyone has watched a river flow — but few have mastered the calm acceptance of simply letting things pass.

Everyone has seen grass spring back after rain — but few have learned to maintain faith through the seasons of uncertainty in their own lives.

Everyone has sat by the sea — but few have developed the patience that flows from a truly deep source.

The experiences are common. The wisdom they offer is not automatic. It has to be practiced, again and again, until it becomes the way you live.
