The next time I'm feeling frustrated with myself, not living up to my expectations for my day or for my life, please read me the poem, Grace, by Morgan Harper Nichols.  She writes:

You have never shamed the waves

for not arriving on the ocean shore

any sooner than they were meant to

and you have never looked above you

to guilt the clouds for taking their time

as they cross the noonday sky.

You simply accept:  these clouds must travel

at whatever pace they need to.

Oh,

what a difference

it would make if you gave yourself

this same grace."[1]
