You suffer as long as you decide to.

The world can hurt you once,

but the mind can return to the same wound a thousand times.

You cannot change what happened,

but you can decide how much of your present

you are willing to surrender to it.

Some endings begin the moment

you stop reopening them.

~Carl Jung

my heart leans into surrender…

inquiry for today~ feel your body move with the tide….

for a glimpse of the moon…

Look, hasn’t my body

already felt like the body of a flower?

Look, I want to love this world

as though it’s the last chance

I’m ever going to get to be alive

and know it.

~Mary Oliver
