We need to allow space for change and time for acceptance. It takes courage to accept just as much as it takes serenity. We need both, to be calm and brave, in order to face the harshest of realities of the lives we live and the lies we tell ourselves. We are all ugly in some way. We don’t always intend to be, but it comes out of us. And unless we are willing to face what is happening within ourselves, how can we possibly embrace what’s happening for others? Judgement hurts and is mostly painful. It is difficult to try and live under the pressure of its webbed fingers, holding us back from growth beyond its grasp. Which is where we all want to move toward, but struggle with.
What will I do next? I don’t know. I know I want to work with my own acceptance of me as well as my acceptance of all of humanity. They all have intuition and reason; some of it, I may not comprehend. But its significance is great in the eyes of their own decisions. I want to be there. In the moment of their reason, and question them until they look at themselves to really understand why. That is the true place of understanding. Where solitude meets a creative voice and questions the authority within.
