Acceptance

I never set out to find enlightenment.  At various times in my life I’ve dabbled with meditation and always, I’ve held a healthy curiosity about all things spiritual.  But seeking nirvana has never been a goal.  All I ever wanted was to make sense of a life - mine - that somehow got derailed by circumstances to become something “other.”  I read extensively, a woman in search of meaning.  Though I have yet to find understanding, for the most part I’ve reached a place of acceptance.  Maybe that’s all there really is.  Maybe that is the brass ring of every spiritual quest – to accept the what is.
