    Nature Teaches Patience

    Moon over a cottonwood tree in eastern Colorado

    “The two hardest tests on the spiritual road are the patience to wait for the right moment and the courage not to be disappointed with what we encounter.”

    Paulo Coelho

    As the years of practice increase the patience to sit behind a tripod and watch the sun rise or set also increases. I attribute the increase to spending more time in nature; she is our teacher of patience.

    “Why is patience so important?”
    “Because it makes us pay attention.”

    Paulo Coelho
