“How can one liberate the many? By first liberating his own being.” Lao Tzu
Acceptance The self is a greek tragedy looking, longing for soul, desiring to overcome the great wound of separation, that bifurcation of unity one calls love, into a dismembered anxiety, the self as scab to be picked at first, then in guilt be covered, that its shame might be healed before it is discovered, until age usurps the chorus with the wisdom of acceptance.

This stirs all sorts of emotions in me, beautifully written and a wonderful journey through life to the place we all aim for: acceptance of self.
Love the Lao Tzu quote too.

Yes, I look at youth and remember the angst, no point in shortcutting the journey for them, but I often wonder if self-acceptance can come sooner or whether it is purely the wisdom of age. Thank you so much for sharing this Rae.
