love and acceptance

 “How cam’st thou in this pickle?”*
No longer a relevant question.
What do we need now?
Love and acceptance.
This is where we are.
Not what we would have chosen perhaps
but where we are now.

Would there be any relief by pouring out my resentment on you?
Would it help?
There is no use picking at old wounds.
Let them be.
See what can be done now.

Love and acceptance
especially with the difficult.

Love and acceptance.
