Accept the Struggle

Do we not think of our connection to the whole?
Do we not know that we feel
as what happens around us?
Wake up child!
This is the land of the living
When your eyes seek to open...
 look around you
The suffering that reaches the doorsteps of your fellow siblings...
 is part of you.
When the Earth cries her tears of pain...
 be sure you can feel it too
When the stars reach to find new evolutionary paths...
 they influence you too.
So sit here and remember as you search for silence and peace
Indeed it lays in you
Always and forever
But don't turn your back to what is
What is all around you.
Feel it in your body
Know that you are part of this Whole
Accept the ways of the world...
and you will start to accept your self
Do not struggle
With what is,
Where you ARE or what you feel
Surrender to it
And through this blissful state of acceptance
New doors will open
In the invisible and visible
The heart will see the truth of all there is
And as the doors open
We and all oneness will show you the way
Then you can show others
And let the whole
Find a new and old way.

Synopsis:
As I was meditating this morning, I sat with sadness and fear.  I accepted it for brief moments, but there was always something nagging at me in the back of my  mind  "are you finished yet", or "I am ready for feeling the bliss of silence".  Just these thoughts that float in the back of my head were where the deep routed struggle lies.  I was still struggling. Wanting to change what is.  It is however very rewarding to be able to see this deep struggle.  Bringing this struggle into the light... is consciousness... and this is the only way to true transcendence.  Accept and observe.  So the struggle is in me... and right now... I accept it fully... for me and for you.... and just like that right in this moment as I am typing these letters... I can feel the lightness of it all... transcending.  Part of this grace that is unfolding right now IS because I am sharing it with you.  So thank you!
