That house I used to live in, the one that eluded me as things do when you try to forget, or simply don’t remember, felt lacking, uncertain, incomplete, like— What’s in that closet? Such a jumble, I could not tell you. I did not seem to be a part of it, nor it to me, yet it’s where life happened: birth and death, joy, and sadness, memories made for a lifetime, the joy of children and delight. Today, in this house, I breathe, feel comfort and recognize each corner— each room in accord. This house I now live in feels whole, part of a creation, mine, and not mine. Like the earth places where I feel I belong, as I merely travel through.
“On this sacred path of Radical Acceptance, rather than striving for perfection, we discover how to love ourselves into wholeness.”
Tara Brach, Radical Acceptance
“We all have a sacred calling that has very little to do with what we accomplish in this world. It is the calling of the sacred — the quiet pull of an implicit wholeness within each of us that awaits our conscious recognition.”
John J. Prendergast, The Deep Heart, Our Portal to Presence
“By psychological work we are changed. In spiritual work we are revealed: we manifest our inner wholeness in conscious daily life.”
David Richo, How to be an Adult: A Handbook on Psychological and Spiritual Integration
