Let go of worry and observe the veil of negativism lifting from your life. Not to be confused with the “power of positive thinking” (which, let’s face it, is a costume that denial wears), this abandonment of fear, is truly better described as acceptance. Acceptance of challenge, acceptance of the chainsaw, the chisel, the file, and the sandpaper that has the ability to sculpt our lives, reducing us down to our very essence, if that is, we have the humility and courage to trust life.

When what was once considered unacceptable is met with acceptance in its many forms, the open heart and quiet mind are flooded by the true nature of life itself.

Never have I derived such joy from this work
