Persistence and Patience

Effort and persistence are an important part of the path to liberation and awakening, but sometimes we get caught in thinking we should be there by now and ask when it's enough. This is when the practice of patience is necessary. Patience is necessary when there is resistance to what is. In this talk Mary reflects on the effort of equanimity and letting go of expectations. There is only right here and right now. Recorded March 15, 2026 for Insight Community of the Desert in Palm Springs Send me a text with any questions or comments!
