A solitary seagull surveys the beauty of a Lake Michigan sunrise as it emerges beyond the Kewaunee, Wisconsin lighthouse and pier. This is a scene from mid October, 2016.  It was a rough morning on the lake.  Of course, I was shooting from the shore, staying far enough away from the waves breaking on the beach to …

I captured this thought from teacher Tara Brach:

I often quote the psychologist Carl Rogers, who said, “It wasn’t until I accepted myself, just as I was, that I was free to change.” In other words, this acceptance — this recognizing what’s going on inside us and this deep unconditional tenderness — is the prerequisite to change.

Part of the practice of Radical Acceptance is knowing that, whatever arises, whatever we can’t embrace with love, imprisons us — no matter what it is. If we are at war with it, we stay in prison. It is for the freedom and healing of our own hearts, that we learn to recognize and allow our inner life.

The practice of meditation is described as having two wings: recognizing, so that you actually see what is happening in the present moment, and allowing, where whatever is seen is held with kindness — seeing what’s here and regarding it with tenderness. Saying yes.

Jim Rohn writes:

When it comes to meeting and conquering the negativity in your life, here is a key question: What can you do, starting today, that will make a difference?

What can you do when everything has gone wrong? What can you do when you’ve run out of money? What can you do when you don’t feel well? What can you do when it’s all gone sour? What can you do?

Let me give you the broad answer first…

You can do the most remarkable things, no matter what happens. People can do incredible things, unbelievable things, despite the most impossible or disastrous circumstances.

Why can humans can do remarkable things? Because they are remarkable. Humans are different than any other creation. When a dog starts with weeds, he winds up with weeds. And the reason is because he’s a dog. But that’s not true with human beings. Humans can turn weeds into gardens.

Humans can turn nothing into something, pennies into fortune and disaster into success. And the reason they can do such remarkable things is because they are remarkable. Try reaching down inside of yourself; you’ll come up with some more of those remarkable human gifts. They’re there, waiting to be discovered and employed.

With those gifts, you can change anything for yourself that you wish to change. And I challenge you to do that because you can change. If you don’t like how something is going for you, change it. If something isn’t enough, change it. If something doesn’t suit you, change it. If something doesn’t please you, change it. If you don’t like how things are, change it! You’re not a tree. You don’t ever have to be the same after today.

If there is one thing to get excited about, it’s your ability to make yourself do the necessary things, to get a desired result, to turn the negative into success. And that’s remarkable.

Many people associate Dr. Seuss with children’s books, but he also wrote over 400 political cartoons during World War II. It was in the years leading up to this war that Seuss poured his talent into creating cartoons for the liberal publication PM, in which he focused heavily on pushing back against the “America First” movement that opposed America’s involvement in the war. Many of these political cartoons echo a political upheaval happening today. Donald Trump adopting the campaign slogan “Make America Great Again” feels eerily familiar, but upon a deeper glance at many of Dr. Seuss’s cartoons, it becomes clear just how much the old is suddenly new again — more than 70 years later…
