Radical Openness, Radical Acceptance

I had sort of a transformation during the most recent holiday season. I'll spare you all the details. rather I'll summarize it in the poem below. It really just comes down to being open and accepting of myself.

Radical Openness, Radical Acceptance

Spread your arms up towards the sky,
Let your body by absorbed by the Earth,
Listen to the Creation you are a part of,
It will tell you that there is nothing to do, nowhere to go.

Peer into the still water of the pond,
Lovers and killers are reflected where your image belongs,
See them both for what they are,
Neither embrace nor flee.

Take each step as a free person,
Feel the love and beauty in all directions,
Smile as you continuously arrive,
There is nothing to fear.


As the Rain Falls,

Sam
