Victor Frankel, the Austrian philosopher, psychologist, Holocaust survivor, taught us that in between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our ability to choose. In that choice rests our growth and our freedom.

As the great teacher Elizabeth Winkler said, “the wound is the way.” So often, we run from the wound. We try to stop the pain and suffering. We are trained in a culture that wants to eliminate discomfort. But acceptance is the key. 

Gratitude Meditation
There's magnificence in this life unfolding in every moment. And yes, there's also sadness, pain, and suffering. Without that sadness, pain, and suffering, there is no understanding or compassion. So, let's even be grateful for some of the veiled aspects of life that we may have resisted but may have taught us something.

The 12th century Sufi poet Hafiz said, "I'm simply a hole in the flute through which the Christ breath flows." We're all just holes in the flute. We're not Christ. We're not the breath. We're not the flute. We're holes. We're conduits. We're channels. And conduits and channels and holes cannot hold onto anything. No grudges, no grievances, no guilt. This is a powerful teaching in the ancient wisdom traditions.

Bodhisattva Meditation

The heart holds a secret to this life and the afterlife. It was the Buddha around 600 BC who really codified a way for us to keep our hearts just a little bit lighter than a feather. To truly dwell in each moment with a light heart,  a state of benevolence towards all beings. To have joy in the sight of others , behave with compassion and sympathy to the afflicted, and have generous tolerance towards those with whom we have issues. These teachings are referred to as the Brahma Viharas, the divine abodes.
