“Remember, acceptance does not mean passive resignation. Not at all. It means taking a reading of the situation, feeling it and embracing it in awareness as completely as one can manage, however challenging and horrible it can be, and recognizing that things are as they are, independent of us liking or disliking the situation and wanting it to be different. Then we can intentionally or intuitively choose to be in what might be a wiser relationship to the present moment.”
