Acceptance

I have accepted man

Because

Man is dreaming.

I have accepted the earth

Because

The earth is transcending.

I have accepted Heaven

Because

Heaven is smiling.

I have accepted the cosmic gods

Because

The cosmic gods are promising.

I have accepted God

Because

God is at once evolving and fulfilling.

I have accepted myself

Because

I am learning the supreme art of surrendering.
