Combining it all,
all the bright moments,
the clouds over the sun,
the yin and yang of it all,
we look back
on a day
or a year
and see only moments.
scattered and watery,
in colour or black and white
for memory is like that
elusive and ever changing.
“The ocean takes care of each wave till it gets to shore.”
~ Mawlana Jalai- al-Din Rumi, The Essential Rumi
Acceptance is believing truth
not the truth of someone else
but the truth that
lives in your bones
that tells you
what you don’t want
to believe
that your life is of
your own making
the little life that came with you
but without instructions.
Instructions whispered, spoken or yelled
through each day of your life
until all of them make sense
but shaped with your own wisdom
because you know the truth
that lives in your bones.
“Knowing others is intelligence.
Knowing yourself is true wisdom.”
~ Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
