ACCEPTANCE MONTH: DAY 18: “Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate, or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy, and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for those who have the vision to recognize it as such.” — Henry Miller
Enough said! The purple monkeys are screaming at me this morning. No reason. I could make up a story, and it would be a good one; but no need.
I am grateful for the awareness of what is going on. I don’t need to tell any stories or talk about it. I have found my path through these things. It is my job to find and maintain the path. I don’t know anyone’s path, just mine. Thank God I found it, because this shit is powerful sometimes and has led many an addict down the road.
I saved this quote; Henry is an old friend. I used to want to be him. Now I am grateful to have felt his muse over the years. I think we are kindred spirits. I woulda hung out with Henry and the gang back in the day. They were my kind of folks. And this is such a powerful quote that there is little I need to add. I like that on these mentally challenging days.
All is well, that is all I need to know. It is all in good order and my life is none of my damn business! Nothing I believe is true, anyway. Every moment IS a golden one! What a blessing this day is!
