Acceptance

… such an interesting word that requires a level of abandonment that few if any of us is attuned to. We are meddlers, we get involve, we analyse, we reason, we judge, we pick at, we stack up, we line up, we deny, we dispute, we grieve, we mourn, we get angry with, then we get mad at, trust me they are different (angry and get mad at), we rationalise, we run it over and over in our heads, we knead it to the point of inedible then we start the whole process all over again and we wonder why we can’t digest it, we fail to understand that we have over worked it. No wonder we are gray, full of wrinkles with sparse hair left. If only we can leave it alone, let it be and just be at peace, but oh no, that we will not do, we must navel gaze and on and on we go.

Acceptance is one of the hardest thing for a rational earnest being, we are brought up to analyse, to investigate, to have a view, to poke at, to solve the puzzle, crack the code, understand the situation, we can’t float because we can’t let be, we must be in control of every element of the process. We are perpertually tense as we are not prepared to accept the natural unfolding of situations, we must peep, we must have insight. Reckless abandonment is alien to us as we must follow each sperm to its final destination and we wonder why we never reach orgasm. We can not savour the delicacy as the chef must give us a detailed process of how the plate got to be in front of us, by the time he finishes the plate is cold, the moment has been lost and we wonder why we never have ‘a moment’, maybe we care too much, not accepting enough, too much study is a weariness of the soul. We never experience the bliss as we can not entertain the ignorance.

Acceptance requires leaving the unknown in the realm of the unknown. The need to figure it all out must be tamed and curbed. Accept, go with the flow, enjoy life, it is all good.

How can it all be good, when …..? Let it be for once, Accept! Sleep easy!
