Acceptance
Patience can be a particularly helpful quality to invoke
when the mind is agitated. It can help us to accept
this wandering tendency of the mind while reminding us that
we don't have to get caught up in its travels. Practicing
patience reminds us that we don't have to fill up our moments
with activity and with more thinking in order for them to be
rich. In fact it helps us to remember that quite the opposite is
true. To be patient is simply to be completely open to each
moment, accepting it in its fullness, knowing that,
like the butterfly, things can unfold only in their own time.
