Thought for the Day​​​

​

The uncommon dialogue

continues...

 

me: I was having a powerful

conversation today with

someone who was wanting

to know the right way to

look at an upset she felt

toward her son.

 

Why is it that everything

in our world pushes us

to be good rather than to

just be honest?

 

I’ve had it with the world

pushing us to attain some

impossible moral standard

which is not only out of

reach, so much so that

even baby Jesus in a loin

cloth couldn’t live up to it,

but it’s a total waste of time.

 

I have discovered that

the only way to find some

relief from this madness

is to accept and embrace

myself exactly as I am.

 

The same goes for

the world.

 

I am no longer willing to

go to war with myself or

anyone else for that matter.

 

I spent a life time trying

to fit in, to please, to belong,

and you know what I

discovered?

 

I have never fit in anywhere,

regardless how hard I tried.

 

As someone I both love

and admire said this morning,

thank God you never fit in

anywhere. If you had fit in,

you would have been useless.

 

Because I don’t fit in

and I never have, no matter

what I said or did, I have

sworn off that exercise

in futility completely.

 

It’s a one way ticket on

the bullet train straight

to hell.

​

And it is a way to remain

a victim all of your life,

which says nothing about

the fact that it never works.

​

How do you gain acceptance

and approval from someone

who has neither loved or

accepted themselves?

​

Ever?

​

Huh?

​

Here is what I have to say

about all this:

 

May everything be com-

pleated in me.

 

I put my weapons down.

 

The war is over.

​

May I never lead with 

my dukes up ever again.

 

May I give every experience

the time and the space that

it needs in order to complete

itself.

 

May this be the service

I offer my world.

 

Who cares if I am invisible

and fly beneath radar

detection?

​

Isn't a quiet, peaceful, loving

and simple life its own

reward?

 

What does it really matter

if no one sees me or gets

me?

​

I have myself and that is

all that matters.

 

The world has no need

of another blowhard.

 

Nor does it need one

who has honed the skill

of schmoozing and

kissing asses.

 

But one who will accept

nothing short of every-

thing exactly as it is?

 

One who will inwardly

bow before everything,

allowing it to be

completed within them

for the sake of the world,

let me be that one.

 

Let that be my service

to both myself and

this world.

sworn off that exercise

in futility completely.

 

It’s a one way ticket on

the bullet train straight

to hell.

​

And it is a way to remain

a victim all of your life,

which says nothing about

the fact that it never works.

​

How do you gain acceptance

and approval from someone

who has neither loved or

accepted themselves?

​

Ever?

​

Huh?

​

Here is what I have to say

about all this:

 

May everything be com-

pleated in me.

 

I put my weapons down.

 

The war is over.

​

May I never lead with 

my dukes up ever again.

 

May I give every experience

the time and the space that

it needs in order to complete

itself.

 

May this be the service

I offer my world.

 

Who cares if I am invisible

and fly beneath radar

detection?

​

Isn't a quiet, peaceful, loving

and simple life its own

reward?

 

What does it really matter

if no one sees me or gets

me?

​

I have myself and that is

all that matters.

 

The world has no need

of another blowhard.

 

Nor does it need one

who has honed the skill

of schmoozing and

kissing asses.

 

But one who will accept

nothing short of every-

thing exactly as it is?

 

One who will inwardly

bow before everything,

allowing it to be

completed within them

for the sake of the world,

let me be that one.

 

Let that be my service

to both myself and

this world.

The uncommon dialogue

continues...

 

me: I was having a powerful

conversation today with

someone who was wanting

to know the right way to

look at an upset she felt

toward her son.

 

Why is it that everything

in our world pushes us

to be good rather than to

just be honest?

 

I’ve had it with the world

pushing us to attain some

impossible moral standard

which is not only out of

reach, so much so that

even baby Jesus in a loin

cloth couldn’t live up to it,

but it’s a total waste of time.

 

I have discovered that

the only way to find some

relief from this madness

is to accept and embrace

myself exactly as I am.

 

The same goes for

the world.

 

I am no longer willing to

go to war with myself or

anyone else for that matter.

 

I spent a life time trying

to fit in, to please, to belong,

and you know what I

discovered?

 

I have never fit in anywhere,

regardless how hard I tried.

 

As someone I both love

and admire said this morning,

thank God you never fit in

anywhere. If you had fit in,

you would have been useless.

 

Because I don’t fit in

and I never have, no matter

what I said or did, I have

sworn off that exercise

in futility completely.

 

It’s a one way ticket on

the bullet train straight

to hell.

​

nothing short of every-

The uncommon dialogue

continues...

 

me: I was having a powerful

conversation today with

someone who was wanting

to know the right way to

look at an upset she felt

toward her son.

 

Why is it that everything

in our world pushes us

to be good rather than to

just be honest?

 

I’ve had it with the world

pushing us to attain some

impossible moral standard

which is not only out of

reach, so much so that

even baby Jesus in a loin

cloth couldn’t live up to it,

but it’s a total waste of time.

 

I have discovered that

the only way to find some

relief from this madness

is to accept and embrace

myself exactly as I am.

 

The same goes for

the world.

 

I am no longer willing to

go to war with myself or

anyone else for that matter.

 

I spent a life time trying

to fit in, to please, to belong,

and you know what I

discovered?

 

I have never fit in anywhere,

regardless how hard I tried.

 

As someone I both love

and admire said this morning,

thank God you never fit in

anywhere. If you had fit in,

you would have been useless.

 

Because I don’t fit in

and I never have, no matter

what I said or did, I have

sworn off that exercise

in futility completely.

 

It’s a one way ticket on

the bullet train straight

to hell.

​

And it is a way to remain

a victim all of your life,

which says nothing about

the fact that it never works.

​

How do you gain acceptance

and approval from someone

who has neither loved or

accepted themselves?

​

Ever?

​

Huh?

​

Here is what I have to say

about all this:

 

May everything be com-

pleated in me.

 

I put my weapons down.

 

The war is over.

​

May I never lead with 

my dukes up ever again.

 

May I give every experience

the time and the space that

it needs in order to complete

itself.

 

May this be the service

I offer my world.

 

Who cares if I am invisible

and fly beneath radar

detection?

​

Isn't a quiet, peaceful, loving

and simple life its own

reward?

 

What does it really matter

if no one sees me or gets

me?

​

I have myself and that is

all that matters.

 

The world has no need

of another blowhard.

 

Nor does it need one

who has honed the skill

of schmoozing and

kissing asses.

 

But one who will accept

nothing short of every-

thing exactly as it is?

myself exactly as I am.

 

The same goes for

the world.

 

I am no longer willing to

go to war with myself or

anyone else for that matter.

 

I spent a life time trying

to fit in, to please, to belong,

and you know what I

discovered?

 

I have never fit in anywhere,

regardless how hard I tried.

 

As someone I both love

and admire said this morning,

thank God you never fit in

anywhere. If you had fit in,

you would have been useless.

 

Because I don’t fit in

and I never have, no matter

what I said or did, I have

sworn off that exercise

in futility completely.

 

It’s a one way ticket on

the bullet train straight

to hell.

​

And it is a way to remain

a victim all of your life,

which says nothing about

the fact that it never works.

​

How do you gain acceptance

and approval from someone

who has neither loved or

accepted themselves?

​

Ever?

​

Huh?

​

Here is what I have to say

about all this:

 

May everything be com-

pleated in me.

 

I put my weapons down.

 

The war is over.

​

May I never lead with 

my dukes up ever again.

 

May I give every experience

the time and the space that

it needs in order to complete

itself.

 

May this be the service

I offer my world.

 

Who cares if I am invisible

and fly beneath radar

detection?

​

Isn't a quiet, peaceful, loving

and simple life its own

reward?

 

What does it really matter

if no one sees me or gets

me?

​

I have myself and that is

all that matters.

 

The world has no need

of another blowhard.

 

Nor does it need one

who has honed the skill

of schmoozing and

kissing asses.

 

But one who will accept

nothing short of every-

thing exactly as it is?

 

One who will inwardly

bow before everything,

allowing it to be

completed within them

for the sake of the world,

let me be that one.

 

Let that be my service

to both myself and

this world.

Thought for the Day​​​

The uncommon dialogue

continues...

 

me: I was having a powerful

conversation today with

someone who was wanting

to know the right way to

look at an upset she felt

toward her son.

 

Why is it that everything

in our world pushes us

to be good rather than to

just be honest?

 

I’ve had it with the world

pushing us to attain some

impossible moral standard

which is not only out of

reach, so much so that

even baby Jesus in a loin

cloth couldn’t live up to it,

but it’s a total waste of time.

 

I have discovered that

the only way to find some

relief from this madness

is to accept and embrace

myself exactly as I am.

 

The same goes for

the world.

 

I am no longer willing to

go to war with myself or

anyone else for that matter.
