Day 106: Real Time
Day 2: 21 Day Complaint Free Journey


As hard as it is to admit, other writers sometimes just say it better than I ever could:

“All faces resemble each other, yet how easily we see in each uniqueness, individuality, an identity. How deeply we value these differences. The ocean is a whole, but is has countless waves, every one different from all the others; it has currents, each unique, ever-changing; the bottom is a landscape all its own, different everywhere; similarly the shoreline. The atmosphere is whole, but its currents have unique signatures, even though they are just wind. Life on earth is a whole, yet it expresses itself in unique time-bound bodies, microscopic or visible, plant or animal, extinct or living. So there can be no one place to be. There can be no one way to be, no one way to practice, no one way to learn, no one way to love, no one way to grow or to heal, no one way to live…….” Jon Kabat-Zinn, Wherever You Go, There You Are.

So, if there is “no one way,” can we legitimately complain about someone else’s chosen path?

To do so denies the reality of life. We must think about that the next time we are about to berate someone for how they express themselves, how they live or love.
