The problem is never the way the world is: the problem is our story about it. Immersed in the heart, we need no story at all. But if there must be a story, here's the one I like to tell...
Every particle of the earth is beautiful. The entire creation is precisely as it needs to be in this moment, to provide each of us with precisely the task we need to perform right now, in order to learn the lesson required by our soul. There is no reason not to do this moment's task in complete happiness, even if the task is feeling pain or grieving loss.
To embrace this momentary task completely, without expectation, without comparison to any other moment, is surrender. This is the only real freedom, and this freedom is perfect joy.
