The words self-acceptance and receive are really present with me these last days. Self-acceptance feels like one step beyond self-compassion as it involves not trying to change anything whatsoever. No effort. Just being with what is. And ironically when I am in this place I am exceptionally receptive. And people come towards me with gentleness and love. So there you have it. And here I am. As I am.

All-Embracing

Accept yourself the way you are, let go of what should be
Be effortless, for you’re on par, go light and breezily
Appreciate the touch you bring, no matter what your mood
You do not have to change a thing, upon your faults don’t brood
Allow yourself to be relaxed, don’t need all those defences
You’re quite o.k and that’s a fact…
