I hope you are moved by this passage from Adya's book "Falling into Grace."
"What actually happens when we stop judging, when we stop resisting the flow of our lives, is that we come into an alignment where we are in a natural and clear relationship with whatever presents itself.
From this place of alignment, the perspective we come upon is not the perspective that we anticipate. It's not the fearful place of the ego. The ego thinks we should become indifferent to everything and uncaring in the face of this nonresistance. But actually something different happens. Instead of being uncaring, we actually come into a deeper and more intimate relationship with what's happening. We become very deeply connected. We find ourselves able, in the moment of someone's actual pain or in the middle of our own suffering, to connect very intimately, very purely, without any resistance. This opens up a door within us for an entirely different response-a response that's not based in opposition. Instead, this intimacy and stillness guides us into a very precise and effective type of action, a kind of involvement born out of a deep inner connection with life and with others. This response is not based in conflict, but in wholeness and oneness. When we're not responding out of conflict, division, and resistance, what manifests is pure compassionate action, wise action that comes from intimacy, stillness and true connection." (Falling into Grace, p. 132-133)
All we have to do is let go of our judgments. Notice what is happening in your life, what you are feeling about what is happening, but do not stand in judgment nor draw conclusions about what should or shouldn't be happening. Accept the moment as it is showing up and allow pure, compassionate action to manifest from deep within.
