forgiveness
May 13th, 2024
bestowing forgiveness upon someone is not an act of weakness
if anything, it is one of the strongest things we can do for each other,
and it is one of the most difficult things to do
for ourselves
this task is not for the faint of heart, but
granting forgiveness is granting freedom
it is releasing ourselves from the chains
of perfection in our daily performances
it is allowing the blemishes
the human-ness
the intrusive thoughts
and the less than honorable decisions
paint dark marks when they must
but then letting the rain wash them away
and the sun cleanse the light of our souls
we must experience this delicious freedom
as we wander through a maze of paths labeled “right” and “wrong
forging our own existence
woven together with the fabric of trial and error
You amaze me!❣️
