Reading the mindful poem, “Allow” by Dana Faulds. It reminds us that life is unfair at times. And trying to control the unfairness is not the answer. Happiness may be found in accepting all things as they are and all people as who they are. Choosing how you want to respond to the “lightning bolts," “tornados,” and "tides," could make all the difference. Simply allow grace-acceptance, forgiveness, and love. Thanks for listening...

Allow by Danna Faulds
There is no controlling life.
Try corralling a lightning bolt, containing a tornado.
Dam a stream and it will create a new channel.
Resist, and the tide will sweep you off your feet.
Allow, and grace will carry you to higher ground.
The only safety lies in letting it all in — the wild and the weak; fear, fantasies, failures, and success.
When loss rips off the doors of the heart, or sadness veils your vision with despair, practice becomes simply bearing the truth.
In the choice to let go of your known way of being, the whole world is revealed to your new eyes.
