Yesterday's meditation:
The Softness of Acceptance
Sometimes there are no satisfactory answers.
Sometimes life makes no sense.
Sometimes you must sit with unknowing.
It may seem as if everything you have ever known has left you.
Somple numbers don't compute.
The earth isn't round anymore.
There is no reason to eat.
There is no reason not to eat.
There is no reason.
As you sit with this unknowing and stop trying to figure things out, a slow comfort begins.
If you don't turn to bitterness to escape the unknowing, a softness develops.
This is the softness of acceptance.
It will gradually envelope you if you don't fight it.
Acceptance is coming to terms with the unknowing.
You learn to live through the traumas of having your beliefs destroyed.
You learn to sit within, and walk through a nonsensical world.
Eventually, you discover gravity again.
You discover that if you drop something, it falls to the earth.
There are natural laws.
Order does exist.
Until you come again to the place of unknowing and must learn to accept all over again.
I'm definitely not there yet, but it gives me hope.
