It is our commitment to wholeness that matters, the willingness to unfold in every deep aspect of our being.

In deep self acceptance, grows a compassionate understanding.

Once we see that everything is impermanent and ungraspable and that we create a huge amount of suffering if we are attached to things staying the same, we realize that relaxing and letting go is a wiser way to live. Letting go does not mean not caring about things. It means caring about them in a flexible and wise way.

When our identity expands to include everything, we find a peace with the dance of the world. The ocean of life rises and falls within us - birth and death, joy and pain, it is all ours, and our heart is full and empty, large enough to embrace it all.

What we seek is what we are.

May I be given the appropriate difficulties so that my heart can truly open with compassion. Imagine asking for that.

When we feel anger toward someone, we can consider that they are a being just like us, who has faced much suffering in life.
