The Kindness of Acceptance

"Acceptance looks like a passive state, but in reality, it brings something entirely new into this world. That peace, a subtle energy vibration, is consciousness."
~ Eckhart Tolle

My teenage daughter has a friend who seems wise beyond her years.  An only child, she is very comfortable around adults.  She is well read and mature, and a great conversationalist.  Recently, I saw her having a conversation with my much younger son. I asked her later what they had been talking about and she said Greek mythology.  Another mom friend observed that this young woman accepts people where they are at.  So whether she is talking to a same-age friend, to an adult or to someone much younger, this girl extends the kindness of acceptance.  And that is an incredible gift.
