Agree With It All 

I do not want to refuse anything anymore. This will be the pinnacle of my spiritual quest: to agree with everything, absolutely everything that happens to me. Being free from "I want" and "I do not want" is to finally be able to dance life as it is, without tightness, without resistance, without tensions.

Almost every day there is something that I spontaneously don’t want. The other day it was the constant rain. I say “spontaneously”, because on second thought I realise that the rain does a lot of good to Nature, that I actually enjoy the humidity in the air, and that a day spent indoors is the perfect occasion to invite good friends for a nice meal together. 

Of course, there are a lot of more “serious” things that I want or do not want, but whatever they are, they all form knots inside me. All the things I reject and all the things I crave tighten me up and make me tense. That is not how I want to live life!

I want to dance life as it is, as Anne Ducrocq so beautifully puts it. I want to relax in the stream of what happens to me, go with the flow.

To help me drop my cravings and rejections I decided to make a list. A little notebook that I carry with me, and where I note every time I want and I don’t want something. Jotting the things down I let them go and continue to dance through my day.
