S49E5 Patience is the Masterkey

https://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-wghnn-16adf37

Your daily walking show considers the thoughts of Franz Kafka on patience:

“Patience is the master key to every situation. One must have sympathy for everything, surrender to everything, but at the same time remain patient and forbearing.

There is no such thing as bending or breaking. It’s a question only of overcoming, which begins with overcoming oneself. That cannot be avoided. To abandon that path is always to break in pieces.

One must patiently accept everything and let it grow within oneself. The barriers of the fear-ridden can only be broken by love. One must, in the dead leaves that rustle around one, already see the young fresh green of spring, compose oneself in patience, and wait.

Patience is the only true foundation on which to make one’s dreams come true.”

– Franz Kafka

S49E2 Patience is like water

Walking around the park behind the hospital thinking about a quote from Margaret Atwood: “Water does not resist. Water flows. When you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress. Water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you. But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it. Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone. Remember that, my child. Remember you are half water. If you can’t go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does.” ― Margaret Atwood, The Penelopiad

Kicking off Series 49 with a call to contribute what patience means to you. Do leave me a voice note if you can to let me know! Patience might be the ultimate superpower when it comes to creativity, allowing us to put new things its eh world over months, weeks, even decades, without worrying too much about whether it is ‘landing’, what our ‘voice’ is, or whether it is going to get us noticed. I wrote a newsletter article about this this morning too: https://rachelwheeley.substack.com/p/series-49-patience?r=138u
