Today was a day of practicing patience, which specifically means bearing my own existence free from aggression. I had some/a lot of aggression today--I drove in rush hour. That's enough. I'm not a saint.
The Paramita aspect of patience is different than just waiting for something or someone to take some action. I think Kshanti has more to do with curiosity than anything else. Simply put, it's hard to be aggressive when we're curious. And being curious about what is going on is a great cure for boredom.
It's snowing again in Denver. The ground bears the snow with no complaint. The ground has no rush. It has been white for a while.
