Today's Zelda's Inferno exercise: from a deck of phrases, draw a card or two and freewrite. on the phrase "radical self-acceptance":

radical self acceptance, I accept my radical self, the part that wants what it wants at any cost and right now

radical self acceptance, what we need now is a little more radical other acceptance. What the Buddha preached, and maybe Jesus too, was radical all-acceptance.

radical self-acceptance, radical self-acceptance, really what's the alternative? radical self-denial? moderate self-acceptance?

there is no self; accepting and understanding that, is truly radical. Then self acceptance is all-acceptance.

or is the radical self the radical notion of separateness? radical doesn't mean correct, after all. ("radical!" shouts a skate punk in my mind)
