When we accept and allow.
Resistance is futile.
A lesson too.

Tough love is tough because often it requires one to accept all things undesirable in the external, that are not desirable in our stream of what we think love ‘should be’..
But then shoulds and what we think love is, keeps one from moving deeper into a more compassionate, loving kind state for self and life without conditions.
Ants are great teachers. I remember one time having problems with boards of them over taking my kitchen. I thought how can we all be supported in this need of both. So I poured honey into a plate, watched their movements and placed it in their tracks. Not long after they all circled round, filled their bellies and gradually the plate was slowly emptied bit by bit.
The most astounding thing being, the honey formed two eyes and a big smile half way through their feeding frenzy.
Who would have thought that beyond the bothersome annoyance many might find in the external, there is always a way to bridge that unity in oneself and not be bothered, but be pro active in serving their needs and yours as one.
