'Acceptance' has been my key word throughout the trials of my life. 'Acceptance' has lifted me, held me, carried me, embraced me and - ultimately -granted me permission to move forward.
'Acceptance facilitates us to be in the 'now'.
Here, as we listen to Brother David Steindl-Rast and Roshi Joan Halifax speaking of gratefulness in the 'now', Brother David also touches on 'Acceptance'. Simple words from these two inspirational people - yet such wisdom.

Superb. Acceptance has always been a gentle force in my life; gratitude has become stronger in more recent years. And it is, really, a universal practice, the practice of gratitude, and we can see how all these things interrelate - acceptance, gratitude, practising the presence of God, making everything that is happening in the "now" sacramental. I also like the phrase "compassion-fatigue", and the idea that if we can overcome the attitude of complaining, we can use that "complaining" energy to fight true social injustice.
