Allowing the difficult to be here, just as it is, is not easy. We begin by gently turning towards, approaching as far as feels possible and wise, breathing with and softening at the edges.
Allowing is a dimension of kindness, a process that we can practice. Practising allowing without goal or expectation of change. Practising with the simple intention of allowing. ALLOW by Danna Faulds There is no controlling life. Try corralling a lightning bolt, containing a tornado. Dam a stream and it will create a new channel. Resist, and the tide will sweep you off your feet. Allow, and grace will carry you to higher ground. The only safety lies in letting it all in – the wild and the weak; fear, fantasies, failures and success. When loss rips off the doors of the heart, or sadness veils your vision with despair, practice becomes simply bearing the truth. In the choice to let go of your known way of being, the whole world is revealed to your new eyes. Photo by Ralph W. Lambrecht from Pexels
