Sleeping with Bread

It is what it is.......

That's the bread I'm clinging to.

I don't get to change it.
I don't haffta change it.
I don't have to pass judgment on it.

It simply is what it is.

WPIML echoed this multiple times during our conversation the other day......while I grumbled....and mumbled....and whined and carried on........and then 'got it!'......
It eeked its way into my brain and it's still there.

I'm thinkin' that was his plan.

I'm working on letting it drop into my heart.......

It is what it is...

There's this place that you get to go to when that head knowledge becomes heart knowledge.

I know that place--
It's a wonderful place. I like it muchly.

At the moment, it's a journey to get back there.
And ain't no one making it a slippery journey but me.

Why I would surrender that place for HERE.........is the problem I created.

But THERE is where I'm purposing to go back to.

It is what it is....

It's not a place of apathy.
It's not void of feeling.
It's not disinterest.

It's acceptance.

It's being at peace with the world and all its inhabitants.

It's trust.

It's faith.

It's believing in the journey......

It's all that and more, smooshed into this state of BEING.......

For the longest time I ran that "....acceptance is the answer to all my problems today. When I am disturbed, it is because I find some person, place, thing, or situation--some fact of my life--unacceptable to me, and I can find no serenity until I accept that person, place, thing, or situation as being exactly the way it is suppose to be at this moment. Nothing, absolutely nothing happens in God's world by mistake. ..... " over and over and over in my brain and outta my mouth.
It helped that it was required of me to have it memorized.
Even if I didn't have the heart knowledge, I could recite it. Which meant that my brain was busy with recertation instead of my mouth being busy with judgments and smartie remarks that got me into troubles of my own making.

It is what it is...

I remember when that dropped into my heart--and how closely it was followed by "They are where they are....."

Peacefulness.....centeredness....feet grounded in the day, present for the jobs that get handed over, fulfilled in all that you ARE.....
You can wear the love and it radiates outwards.

I have moments.

I have days.

And I have the journey to do to get back to where my heart longs to be....

It is what it is.....


By design.

With purpose.

In love.

With goodness that doesn't have to be seen......it's just somehow 'known'.....heart knowledge.....

It is what it is.....

They are where they are.....

Head knowledge vs heart knowledge.


It is what it is, eh?

All I need to do is get out of my own way........
