As a way of setting yourself for the meditation, you might find a position that allows you to

be sitting upright or tall, but also at ease, relaxed, relaxed and alert.

Fill your body sitting here, feel your body breathing, and let this life breath further gather

and collect you.

Using the breath comes in, you can relax and open to receive it.

As the breath goes out, there can be a bit of letting go, so that with each out breath,

you might sense you can let go of any thoughts that were sticky.

Without breath, you can let go of any obvious tightness in the body.

And with the out breath, any unnecessary holdings in the heart.

The poet Dorothy Hunt writes,

in this choiceless, never-ending flow of life, there's an infinite array of choices.

One alone brings happiness.

To love what is.

One alone brings happiness.

To love what is.

As we know, often we're not able to love what's arising in the moment, but there is a pathway

to that open-heartedness, to that heart-space that can include with tenderness what's here.

And the first step to loving what is is letting what's here be here, allowing.

And then as we deepen that allowing presence, our hearts become increasingly tender.

So the title of this meditation is loving what is.
