"Open your heart to who you are right now,/Not who you would like to be."
- John Welwood
Acceptance doesn't mean being a doormat, liking everything that happens, or tolerating the intolerable.
It's simply acknowledging what is.
This little book is handmade, hand-stitched and heartfelt.
It fits in my pocket and has just enough pages to jot down snippets of poems, lyrics, observations and reflections for a week or so - tidbits that may not mean much to anyone else but are important to me.
When I look back, I see that they reflect my truth in those moments. Each little book becomes a sort of mirror - a way of learning to accept what I see reflected back to me.
Today I'm practicing acceptance through a wabi-sabi lens, nurturing the understanding that nothing lasts, nothing is finished, and nothing is perfect.
