To love is to admire with the heart; to admire is to love with the mind.
~Theophile Gautier
Patience is taking the time to love what is difficult to love.

Taking Time
From the Mary-El Tarot, the Knight of Cups; from the OH Cards, Time/Anger:
Each of the knights of tarot are on a quest to find a particular Grail; the Knight of Cups seeks the one that serves the heart. To see and serve with the heart means that we see the potential for good in everyone. What has been done in the past does not mean the future will be the same. Life can sometimes wear down the sharp, jagged edges of people. We don't need to open ourselves to harm, but we can recognize that even the lotus seed begins its growth in the muck and mud. The Time and Anger cards, however, indicate that we've applied our personal timetable on such change. Yet impatience, expectations, perfection and frustration all grow from the mind. They deplete our energy and cloud our judgment. These are the moments we can practice developing patience, which begins in the heart.

As human, we choose to experience the journey, though we often forget that at our essence we are spirit and trials of heart, mind, body, and experience are just fleeting moments along the way.
