I have not read all the posts pertaining to the Sandy/Sarah Ferret debate nor to I care to being it is drama based and filled. But I thought of some thing that maybe everyone might want to sit back and think about on both sides of the debate. Here is a poem I bought while at a Pow Wow recently. I think it is some thing good for all parties to think about and a great lesson to remember. Granted not all people follow the many beliefs of the Native American path, but regardless it is a good message for all humans to practice. Acceptance Acceptance is the answer to all my problems today. When I am disturbed, it is because I find some person, place, thing or situation ---Some fact of my life--- unacceptable to me. And I can find no serenity until I accept that person, place, thing or situation as being exactly the way it is suppose to be at this moment. Nothing, absolutely nothing happens in the Creator's world by mistake. Until I could accept life completely on life's terms, I cannot be happy. I need to concentrate not so much on what needs to be changed in the world, as on what needs to be changed in me, and in my attitudes. Bridgette Don't Believe Everything You Think...
