Your Heart Was Made for This
We will return to Oren Jay Sofer’s book, Your heart Was Made for This: Contemplative Practices for Meeting a World in Crisis with Courage, Integrity, and Love. We will be using chapter 12, “Patience” for our discussion. You do not need to have read this ahead of time. Carla will use the thoughts in this chapter as a springboard for further reflection and discussion.
“Patience is power; with time and patience the mulberry leaf becomes silk.”
– A Chinese Proverb
“Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.”
– Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions
themselves.”
– Rainer Maria Rilke
“Face your deficiencies and acknowledge them; but do not let them master you. Let them
teach you patience, sweetness, insight… When we do the best we can, we never know
what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another.”
– Helen Keller
“Patience invites us to live in harmony with the natural unfolding of things—
and reminds us there’s nothing we can’t endure, together.”
– Oren Jay Sofer
