whose patience receives
a crown of glory.© 2015 Dennis Ference
Patience
Simplicity, Patience, Compassion
Simplicity, patience, compassion.
These three are your greatest treasures.
Simple in actions and thoughts,
you return to the source of being.
Patient with both friends and enemies,
you accord with the way things are.
Compassionate toward yourself,
you reconcile all beings in the world.
~ Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
