Acceptance

Jul 3, 2015

—

in my nearly seven decades
on this earth
i know some things to be true.
if there is a key to life
it is ACCEPTANCE.
this is a goal that i aspire to,
i’m not always successful,
but with each slip
i affirm that i can do better;
i will do better.

i don’t have answers.
i don’t have solutions.
i don’t have resources.
what i offer is a safe haven
where YOU can come home.
i will ACCEPT you —
no questions asked,
no explanation expected,
nothing requested
in return.
i open my heart
to YOU.

acceptance is such a powerful word….
magick when it is felt, such sadness when it is not

  Thank you, Swami. I’m getting older and the time for subtlety is fast disappearing. The world is in a mess because of discrimination, even genocide towards our fellow man. It is time for me to roar.

  Thank you so much for the book recommendation. Yes, it echoes other voices I’ve heard as well. It is a simple truth that seems so difficult for most people to accept. I hope to reach out to people and welcome their conversation, either public or private.

The words have great power Dennis because it is a truth. It leaves a sense of peace in the reader, a knowing of a true peace by that comfort within after reading it and a desire to be a part of it. Beautifully written !
