Transcript

Forgiveness, My intention to forgive, Loosening the armor around my heart, Opening to the possibility of freedom from this tension clouding my perception. I hold your image before me, A pure light and essence and stillness, Acknowledge the past hurt, Your leg stuck in a trap of unworthy, My compassion for your pain, Your wound raw and healing, Your thoughts tight and controlled by the wrongs you've had to endure. Touching into the place where I felt the sting, The burn of your own closed heart, Protecting you from a pain too deep, A resolution still frayed and incomplete, An awareness that this isn't about me unless I let the cycle repeat, A rumination, A swirl of anger and betrayal alive in me, A noticing that this is not mine to hold. I release and let go of your shame and blame, Unnecessary to carry forward in my day, A new pattern forms, A clear channel contained within my body, A promise for a gentler meeting, Available when I next look into your eyes. I'm binding my energy for something more useful. I let go of trying to change the past.
