Can you be with delays without getting upset? When trouble hits can you accept it without getting angry? When you become ill can you tolerate it, even accept it?
- Join me! Announcing a four-week meditation class, The Four Faces of Love, meeting once a week on Zoom beginning June 7, 2023. In this class we will explore lovingkindness, compassion, appreciative joy, and equanimity.

Today we’re exploring patience and how cultivating and growing our patience allows us to strengthen our equanimity, accept things as they are, and brings us inner and outer peace.
In the podcast we explore how to be tolerant, how to work with anger, and how forgiveness and compassion come into play when we practice patience. We can’t truly be free and at peace unless we are patient.
Patience is a characteristic of the mindful person. We’re aware of what is happening in the present moment whether it be delay or harm or pain and we can be with it without allowing frustration or anger to take over. We are tolerant, forgiving, and compassionate to ourselves and others.
I hope you enjoy the show and that you’ll be moved to support the show.
This week I invite you to practice patience when delay or harm is present. Forgive yourself and others and patiently investigate without blaming; find the root cause; and act with compassion.
