Contentment

What problems need to be solved, and which can be dis-solved with contentment? 

In our competitive world, “contentment” can sound like a bad thing - with overtones of settling for the mediocre. However, contentment can be powerful - a whole-hearted embrace of the infinite moment as it actually is - not as we wish it to be.  Acceptance of the present moment in this way may not solve our problems, but it can help dis-olve the pain they bring. 

While such a posture of radical acceptance can sometimes look (or feel) foolish, it is nonetheless a uniquely effective way to engage the flow of life. 

The present moment is the only time we can experience inner integration and its associated benefits (e.g., feelings of fullness or peace). I hope we can all take time today to step out of the dis-ease of constantly pursuing fulfillment of our every expectation and into an intentional posture of contentment.
