The Nature of Humility

Humility is shy

React from fear or anger
Speak from ego or arrogance
Think untailored thoughts

Humility scampers away

Humility is patient

remaining quiet and distant
while we rage or cry
while we learn and grow

Humility arrives suddenly in the moment.

“True merit, like a river, the deeper it is, the less noise it makes.”

~ Edward Frederick Halifax
