Practicing Patience

When you are in a hurry or impatient for some particular outcome,
first observe the sensation in your body.
Notice what this impatience feels like,
where it shows up--
for example, your jaw, neck, chest, or gut.
Be present to the feeling.
Slowly expand your awareness to include
what your senses are taking in from the outside world--
what you see, touch, smell, or taste.
Be present to this moment.
Let the reality of both your impatience and the outer reality be as they are,
without your attachment to them.
It is what it is.
And all is grace.

~R. Rohr
