••• •••Mettā
Mettā is the wisdom of the skilled navigator of life, making minor adjustments to counter the vagaries of circumstance, happenstance, and chance
For change is the only constant And that change is constantly in flux A perpetually changing changelessness
For all things come into being through strife And to risk nothing is to risk it all By placing all trust in deception
What is needed of you is To accept your limited freedom Without fearing the limits of its bounds
To accept your separateness Without denying your oneness with all that is
To accept your responsibility Without being a victim of your responsibilities
To doubt your doubts Knowing that the only way to find out Is to go all the way through
To notice how you are separate from all that is Because the illusion of separateness Is only a perceived absence Created by what is always present
To accept all happenings without judgement Because the act of separating good from bad Is the momentum of denial that creates the undesirable
Because all happenings form a unity And are, as it were, spun together
