Throw yourself wide open to all life has to offer.
Allow the sunshine to soak in,
use the shadows as marks of character.
Look ahead with acceptance,
look back without regret.

Stones on the beach

The ocean scatters stones across the beach and they stay there
for an indeterminate amount of time. As long as the seas are calm,
the stones will rest there. The next aggressive tide will pull them into
the sea or bury them in sand. The moon, the tide, the ocean, the weather
are all events beyond the control of the stones. They speckle the beach
with a carefree appearance indicating their acceptance
of what they cannot change.
As a season changes

As the sun sets on winter, we can reflect on the fact that
change is omnipresent in our lives.
The change of seasons represents a natural flow of impermanence
that is uncomplicated, and easy to experience with acceptance.
This acceptance of change can then be applied to other,
often more difficult, types of transformation in our lives.
