FROM RESIGNATION TO ACCEPTANCE
And a profound sadness came upon him As the world and all its suffering Did pour into him The history of human inhumanity And needless cruelty Caused him to sit in the silence of sorrow No words, no reason, no understanding Just the simple truth of it Yet he held on to none of it Allowing it to flow unimpeded by mind Thus somehow, through grace itself, A kind of compassionate neutrality followed Found when resignation, devoid of any investment, Becomes the deepest acceptance.
