For after all, the best thing one can
do when it's raining is to let it rain.
The way I see it, if you want the

We cannot change anything
until we accept it. Condemnation
does not liberate, it oppresses.
Some people swallow the universe
like a pill; they travel on through the world,
like smiling images pushed from behind.
Happiness can exist
only in acceptance.
Accept everything about yourself --
I mean everything, you are you and
that is the beginning and the end --
no apologies, no regrets.
The art of acceptance is the art of

The strongest and most effective force
in guaranteeing the long-term
maintenance of power is not violence

with the drift of things to yield with
a grace to reason and bow and accept
at the end of a love or a season.
