Insight Into The Grace of Acceptance

it's not without evidence - our existence alone provides clear insight into the grace of acceptance. Nothing is denied its moment here, our best avoidance won't help us stand clear of all life offers, the worst through what's judged the very best. It's just what arises, events, and moments given meaning, people who seem to belong yet one day slip away. We can't exclude the varying shades of living, indeed life paints this tapestry intensely. But we can see, clearly, how our openness simply allows it all to be, from suffering to joy, there is no selection that we may hold as permanent - its just what happens, and even our reactions fall within this natural allowing. It's this revelation that leads to a profound sense of relaxing, making choices without fear of being wrong, and letting each moment and all that it holds, unfold without interference from our judgement that things should be other. For given time - they surely will.

When Seeing Comes So Clear

it's in nature when I often feel most myself - not meaning simply personality, all that accompanies my name, nor all I've accumulated as baggage of the self. No, in nature it's easier for me to view the world in two directional seeing - viewing myself at once as empty capacity, a non-self that makes room for all I believe myself to be, as well all the details of the natural world. The surroundings open up to each step, capacity being filled in its intended role of holding life. This stays true no matter where I find myself to be - but nature seems to invite an immersion in a quicker fashion. It's a true gift given to, from, and as myself. 

One thing. 

It's a wonder when seeing comes so clear.

All That's Left

and all that's left is letting go - though even this too

is just a concept to unburden.

our freedom is always now

everything is surrendered in the
moment that it happens.

Faith in Our Own Essential Nature

we don't question air, our faith in breath is unquestioned until perhaps there comes a struggle - this than, is our essential nature. Life happening fully on it's own, no interference from our own, best, beliefs. As such, there is no need to urge ourselves to relax, to calmly accept, nor be mindful of breath and response to circumstance. It's all being taken care of, at once, in the very moment of it happening. In this realization even our struggles belong. Life continues in motion, allowing what is - to simply be. Just to know this brings us to ease, a deep surrender to living, faith in our own essential nature.

Spirituality of Relaxation

there's no accurate description - yet we are in the midst  of it, life fully as is, everything happening in synchronous fashion, and our whole participation. It's our belief that we are somehow outside the events of living, that life happens too, but not through us, that keeps us from a realization of our harmonious nature. Here's the thing - every seeming mistake fits in. Perfectly. I'm not assigning meaning to events, nor stating a belief in divine guidance (nor discounting anything either) but simply relying on the wisdom of what is, now, and always - which is that life flows in continuous wonder, constantly changing, and providing for itself in ways beyond my conscious understanding. I have faith in life. In this light, I often find myself in a state of allowing grace, where even my arguments against reality are given full acceptance in the moment and then gently ease in the heaviness of meaning. They're just one more thing that will be let go of on their own accord, no mindful effort on my part needed. 

It's the spirituality of relaxation. 

And somehow - all I need.

Not Through Time

not through time, but indeed even in the moment of their occurrence - all things are allowed fully as they are, exactly, and given room to be, linger, and leave in a timing of their own. There is no effort of acceptance. Life is continuous in its openness and at no point are we removed from this. This, we may say, is the very nature of forgiveness. 

Completely natural. 

Happening on its own. 

And our only role is in its acknowledgement.

World is Awareness

the world is awareness - and I, am 

just aware of its 

unfolding

at this point - I don't say that I'm awareness, as that indicates in subtle language my removal from the whole. I am (we are) aware, simply, and that which is occurs as and within awareness. One thing.
