Levels of acceptance...

By Vichara

There are so many levels that we try to achieve every day. A level of acceptance of what we can withstand. Levels of understanding with each encounter. The levels of belief in what doctrine we immerse ourselves in. The levels of fortitude that will give us the strength we need to get through the day. The levels of hope that what we are doing will result in something worthwhile. The level of trust and how much we give of our hearts, mind and love. All a delicate balance without a completely unified gauging system. So how do we know at what level will work? While clearly there are some moral levels we should not cross the rest can sometimes feel like a vast open field. So at what level is right for you? I don’t have an answer. It is you that must retain your own pocket-guide of measurements to gauge what level is right for you. But I think you will intuitively learn and recognize the levels your heart will accept through this journey.

Did you know?
The whiskers of a cat qualify as vibrissae (that’s the plural of "vibrissa"), as do the hairlike feathers around the bill of some birds -- especially the insect-feeding kind. And when scientists first used "vibrissa" in the late 17th century, they used the word to refer specifically to the hairs inside the human nostril. Science got this word, as it has many others, from Latin. "Vibrissa" comes from "vibrare," which means all of the following: "to brandish," "to wave," "to rock," and "to propel suddenly." Other "vibrare" descendents in English include "vibrate," "vibrato," and "veer."
