If another person is a pain in the ass

If another person is a pain in the ass
you can be annoyed by it,
and then:
they won

you can be amused by it
and you are
free

you won, not the struggle
but the life you want to live:
one free of being pushed around
by ridiculous forces

free to be the happy, creative,
amazing
person you want to be

If another person is a pain in the ass

And you get angry they win

If you get curious or calm or loving
or once again, amused:
then you are on the way to being a
real person

which is a very fun thing to be

does loving "what is" mean...

does loving "what is"
mean
loving everything?

yes.

okay, okay,
loving the war in
Iraq.
don't start there.

start where our real pain
is
anyway:

loving our husband when he leaves
his crap around
loving our wife when she gives us
"the look"
or
"the voice"

loving our boss when
he's a critical asshole

and what is
"critical asshole"
once we let go
of holding on
to viewing life
through concepts

so
our daughter:
she "should" be such and such
and
can we love her
when she is not such and such

our son
"shouldn't" such and such
and can
we love him,
you know big smile happy heart
overflowing yesnes
when he is doing the "shouldn't"
he so loves to do

can we love
'em
when they are
"all wrong?"

yes:
we understand and can live
in
love


anything else
is bullshit

does this relate,
grow from
use
the Work of Byron Katie
sure

but she wouldn't say
bullshit

because she loves
everything
including every singe excuse
every single person
on earth
has for not loving
what ever
is it
they aren't loving

that's kind of
my feel about enlightenment
now

forget all the fancy
stuff:

am i loving
the stuff that used to drive me
crazy?

then i'm there
enough

and there
is no
there

only
here

which is......
