You find peace not by rearranging the circumstances of your life, but by realizing who you are at the deepest level.

Can you look without the voice in your head commenting, drawing conclusions, comparing, or trying to figure something out?

Watch any plant or animal and let it teach you acceptance of what is, surrender to the Now.
Let it teach you Being.
Let it teach you integrity — which means to be one, to be yourself, to be real.
Let it teach you how to live and how to die, and how not to make living and dying into a problem.

I have lived with several Zen masters -- all of them cats.

Acceptance looks like a passive state, but in reality it brings something entirely new into this world. That peace, a subtle energy vibration, is consciousness.

You do not become good by trying to be good, but by finding the goodness that is already within you, and allowing that goodness to emerge.
