All we can do

is to accept where we are.

Where we are now

is not there, but here.

Let go of resisting

what has already passed

and embrace this moment.

All we can do

is to create what feels right

for beings to thrive,

to follow life’s purpose,

to grow and be kind

especially to ourselves.

All we can do

is to remind ourselves

to let be and let go.

If our way is challenged,

accept it as a stepping

stone along life’s path.

All we can do

is to remember …

to always come back to

love.
