We cling to or resist external circumstances, others’perspectives, outside voices, just to be okay. We believe if we cling ontosomething in our minds, we will eventually become more of that thing (likepraise), and if we resist something in our minds, we will become less of thatthing (like criticism).

We believe by clinging or resisting, we will be okay. The oppositeis true. We become disconnected and disengaged. And our inner place of peacegets covered up.

In this episode, we will identify the clinging and resistingand let these things “pass through”.

It doesn’t have to be

The blue iris, it could be

Weeds in a vacant lot, or a few small stones;

Just pay attention, then patch

A few words together and don’t try

To make them elaborate, this isn’t

A contest but the doorway

into thanks, and a silence in which

Another voice may speak.

Praying, Mary Oliver
