New quotes about waiting added 28 April, 2012
Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.
Lao Tzu
People wait for a multitude of things, from winning the lottery numbers to the perfect mate.

What are you waiting for? Why?
from Fearless Living by Rhonda Britten (about Rhonda Britten)
If you are always waiting to be, do, or have what you want, your energy becomes blocked. Your body may reflect this in excess weight or other physical problems. Express yourself directly. Set clear boundaries with other people and do what you need to do to take good care of yourself. Energy will then move freely through your body and this circulation will dissolve any excess weight. The more you are willing to be yourself, the less you’ll need to use food as a substitute nurturer. You will be receiving the natural nurturing of the universe.
from Reflections in the Light, by Shakti Gawain
In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.
