Embracing Ourselves As We Are

Walt Whitman understood the importance of loving ourselves, all parts of ourselves, the light and the dark, the happy and the sad. We cannot experience and understand one without the other. The duality of life is within us, we do not have to go far beyond ourselves to understand this wisdom. The outside world also mirrors this duality, we need only observe. Taking the time to contemplate what this means brings us to a deeper truth about ourselves and the world. Do I contradict myself? Very well then I contradict myself, I am large, I contain multitudes. ~ WALT WHITMAN, "SONG OF MYSELF" Pranita 10/15/14
