difficult quote for the day

"In life, stress happens when you resist what arises."
Dan Millman

It's a pretty quote, sure, but to actually practice this kind of acceptance is serious business.

So I know that as a SPED teacher, I like this quote, that I need to work towards excepting the flow of working with special students, but....

I read this as a recent seminary graduate who studied Martin Luther King, Romero, in which case I think if stress is a byprodulct of resistance, so be it. Resistance is important when so much of what arises continues to marginalize others.
