A Better Way

A better way: 

perhaps only dimly now, as A Course in Miracles states, but I begin to recognize that there is, indeed, a better way. Yes, as with everyone, my tolerance for pain is high, there's a capacity within each of us that manages to embrace a large degree of suffering throughout our lives. This is a chronic condition, and needlessly so,  but again, as the Course says, it is not without limit.

yes, there is a better way.

for me, and it hasn't always come easily, it's to relinquish my own demands placed upon so many situations. It is not my job to be in charge of the world, not even the seemingly private inner-real estate I call my mind. My every demand, unmet or otherwise, has led me to this high tolerance of pain, and now they lead to me surrender. 

I am not without limit to my suffering.

none of us are.

and here's the better way...

to forgive myself through every situation, no exceptions, turning each painful event over to a higher light that always urges me to love my way through it. That's the better way, it's love, expressed through the gentle practice of forgiveness. 

I choose Love.

always.

and that's the only way.

I love you, Eric
