I am noticing a theme around my daily card pulls these days. They all seem to call me to find acceptance in the now. Accepting where I am and what I have and not obsess over where I’m not and what I don’t have.
Easier said than done, right?
My body is safe. My body is as well as it can be right now. My body has what it needs to survive. Yet, my mind still wants more. My mind wants different. My mind wants to feel the spaciousness of freedom. It wants the two swords that didn’t quite fit in the hand. My mind doesn’t feel like the five that the figure is already carrying, are not enough.
So the “challenge” here then is to bring the mind and the body together in the now.
These are the words that landed on paper. May you find solace in them. May you know you’re not alone in your struggles, in your frustrations, in your discomfort zone.
Acceptance is the path through this discomfort zone.
Accepting that things change.
Accepting that this moment right now is not permanent.
Accepting that this too shall pass.
Accepting that I will know when I need to take a leap of faith and face my own insecurities and fears that are keeping me in this partially self-imposed prison.
Accepting that there are still lessons here that I need to learn.
Accepting that it is not quite yet time.
And trusting that I will know.
In the words of Lindsay Mack, can you be with the pain?
Can you be with whatever is here now, knowing that this too shall pass?
One of the biggest challenges I'm currently on, too.
Sending you love and patience and gentleness on this uncomfortable path.
