Acceptance
Let me tell you a secret about acceptance.
Do not be afraid to stand tall,
feet firmly planted in the ground,
arms swaying like willow tree branches
or like when you extend your arm
out the window of a moving car,
as the air currents cause gentle rises and falls
catching the softened palms of a searching heart.
Right there, one can shout with confidence
I accept all things, and mean it, truly mean it,,
Do not be afraid, do not waiver in doubt
Accepting all things will not
move you from your newly awakened center.
keep breathing, my friend, not even a stone lies motionless
Accepting does not mean you will be dragged to the pit of darkness,
that is, unless you are required to experience that,
but do not be afraid, the light remains with you
Acceptance is not a judgement, but an awareness
of what is, as in love is, war is, hunger is, joy is,
acceptance is simply experiencing without attaching.
But make no mistake, being detached, does not mean
your choices do not have an impact on this
madly, messy miraculous world.
Acceptance is where your compassion wings
grow and your flight becomes global.
