Patience

Patience is
A wide shallow beach
Reducing the furious sea
To a gentle
ripple

  Hi Neroli!
  
  It was lovely, but all too brief. 🙂
  
  Taken on a fiive day road trip from Phoenix back to Vancouver, so only time to stop for a bit here and there, mostly for photographs. Fortunately, the coast drive offered up yummy sights like these.

  =) Thank you, Miriam.
  
  I’ve made a few trips up and down that stretch of coastline and this beach always offers a delightful set of photographs, no matter the weather.
  
  And this one proved a wonderful inspiration for words, as well. Much like the beach itself, they were offered up like a gentle gift of a wavelet from a much deeper origin.

I love this description of patience. That exactly how I am going to picture myself as I patiently wait for my kid to stop having a tantrum…
