Bracken (Patience) - “The Root of Virtue”
“The word patience comes from the Latin verb patior which means “to suffer.” Waiting patiently is suffering through the present moment, tasting it to the full, and letting the seeds that are sown in the ground on which we stand grow into strong plants.”
—Henri Nouwen
✨After enduring the cold, damp winter, the fern slowly sends up its fiddleheads from the forest floor. They patiently unfurl their graceful fronds, leaving us with a reminder that there is a time and season for everything. Patience is not passive, but Nouwen says, “It is an active waiting in which we live the present moment to the full in order to find there the signs of the One we are waiting for.”
✨This print is for anyone who wants a reminder to stay present and patient, looking for signs of life and growth.
✨The hand-painted gold sun represents life.
