Acceptance

To accept what is… not what I want it to be To accept people as they are... not who I want them to be To accept feelings are felt… not facts I think them to be To accept these truths three... Awakens perception of reality And multidimensional creativity

Very true message. The serenity prayer comes to my mind. I especially like the necessary attempt to accept feeling and not to think them. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy: the emotional mind, the rational mind and the wise mind. Thank you for reminding me with your poem, Kai
