Resistance

Resistance: 

our resistance too belongs, that acceptance incorporates every point and aspect of life, everything is included - and even as we resist a current mood or situation it's all accepted in the immediacy of the moment. Nothing stands apart from now. Being aware of this, if only just a little, and there comes a greater ease, relaxing to whatever's found present. 

acceptance is our natural state of being.

this isn't a meek approach to life, it's not resignation to any particular condition or state of mind. Life is far too dynamic for our resign. Acceptance is simply the constantly changing moment, a continuous flow of life in full event. It's not something that we do - but exactly what we are. Of course we find ourselves resisting what's unpleasant, shying from a hurtful memory or emotion. That's not a refusal to accept a present situation, acceptance has already happened completely on its own. It's just our resistance to acknowledge this acceptance, seeing that life has been dramatically altered from our favored course and now requires our attention. 

we act from this acceptance.

that's our only role, really, acknowledging what's present, including our resistance, and acting from this point onward. And even this happens mostly on its own, life continuing in its motion, already and always current to the newness of the moment. Our action is subtle, our acceptance marked by breath and heartbeat, that we somehow continue even as we seem to break apart. Truly, everything belongs, and we are embraced by this acceptance, our resistance too is held, life urging us to carry on. It's all so beautiful, knowing that we are included in life's flow, never once strayed from this belonging. 

it's most truly what we are.
