Acceptance

I am told of acceptance.
It can be elusive,like a beautiful butterfly darting in front of me.
I want it, I know it will feel beautiful inside when I embrace it fully.
Some times the thought of acceptance has me pretend I am willing.
Often, I build a case of reasons why I should not have acceptance of a situation or person.
I can build a very good case of why nots.
Then, with nothing but willingness, grace enters my heart and over rides my righteous mind.
It does not matter if I have acceptance or not. I am transformed by grace and it is the only decision there is to make.
I am relieved of my talking points and proof of why.
Back in my center, I allow myself to let go.
I am transformed.
Another miracle in the life of this human.
