The strength of the
summer sun always seems to take me be surprise. I got a sunburn
picking the Strawberries on Saturday. It got worse yesterday, so
sleeping last night wasn't easy.
I appreciate pain. I
find it centering. It reminds me to be grateful for the times when it
is absent. It reminds me that, like all things, it will pass. It
reminds me that everything is always changing. Sometimes the sunburn
pain is really bad, sometimes I don't even feel it. It reminds me
about acceptance. Acceptance disconnects me from what might be or
what might have been and brings me back to what is happening right
here, right now. I can't make the pain go away, but I only have to
experience it in the moment I am in.
Today, I am paying
attention to pain,
And experiencing it,
As it is,
In the moment I am
in,
Right here,
Right now.
