Every time I reacted negatively, pushing things away, that action implied that there was something to fear. That this feeling or this thought was dangerous; that it was going to really hurt me, or invade me; that it was something that was really me and mine. As I began to welcome it all I realised that when you accept everything, only then can you sense that, after all, there is nothing to fear. None of it really belongs to a self or comes from a self. It cannot touch the mind which knows, cannot affect its nature. Whatever shape of vessel you pour the water into, with this same total accommodation, the water changes to the shape of the bottle. It doesn’t say: ‘I will not be poured into a square bottle, square bottles are not my scene. Round bottles only, please!’ When there is complete acceptance, there is just the sense of being the knowing, being that which is aware of all that comes through the mind.

You’re putting up great pieces. They resonate with all the things that I’m working with at various levels with varying success 🙂 Acceptance is really the heart of peace, so essential and such a big part of it I think is about letting go of all the conditions that we place on acceptance, and on loving for that matter. You might like a post of mine called Opening your heart to the present. By the way, I’m adding your blog to my blogroll so more of my readers will read your offerings also.
