Sitting Quietly

Unititled ~ Canon 30d

Happiness is like a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.
~ Nathaniel Hawthorne

Circumstances have put me in an imposed place of patience this month, and I'm learning that waiting and anticipation can actually be a very good thing.

The butterfly tilts his head and whispers, "Om" to me.

The colors are fabulous........apricot spots and flowers. Patience is a wonderful virtue.......
use time wisely and think of the rewards for waiting.

Susan, can I ask where the quote your quote by Nathaniel Hawthorne came from? I am currently finishing a Masters Thesis the title of which is Flies and Butterflies: My experience of living in remission, and I would love to use this quote. But you know what academics are like they require the sources of everything!

Beautiful picture, and a wonderful heart inspiring site. Thank You.
