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.
