None of us can make giant leaps from where we are. It takes time to learn to think new thoughts, and yet more time to integrate them. When I heard Byron Katie speaking about "loving what is" I understood the concept....for about a minute, and then that brief flash of light was gone. I've tried to find that comprehension again, and...so far....have been unable to achieve it.
Today, I was shown the way when I ran across the following quote which, for me, is a stepping stone in comprehending how to be at peace. Learning and growing is about small steps, not giant leaps.
"Praise and blame, gain and loss, pleasure and sorrow come and go like the wind.... To be happy, rest like a giant tree in the midst of them all." — Buddha
Now, THIS I understand!:-)
