Forgiveness shows me the world is not perfect
that it demands of us a working towards progression
in life, in love, in relationships
a freeing up of stuck stagnant energy that leads nowhere good.
Forgiveness is a recognition
that if I do not let go of or channel the hurt
it will only rebound on me
I will be then chained to the rock of resentment
doomed to live the same painful events over and over..
never using the suffering as medicine to transform and move forward
Forgiveness shows me there is a new opportunity I can take
if I am willing to let go of old trances
Forgiveness shows me I do have some power
mostly the power over the attitude I take to people and events
Forgiveness shows me I can reach for light
even in the midst of great darkness
Forgiveness shows me I can show mercy
and not let judgement fix or freeze me in places
that only turn the fire of my spirit to ice
Sometimes we punish our selves, for others’ mistakes, and, we trap ourselves, in this state, unable, to, get, beyond, what others, did to us, because, we force ourselves, to, forgive others bad behaviors, toward us…
Forgive the person not the behaviour it all came out of ignorance
