Only for the Strong...


"To forgive is for the strong - not for the cowardly."

When we feel confident within ourselves - we can

feel like we have something to give. There are so

many things that can go into the wounding - trying not

to hurt someone's feelings and making the suffering

more keen - choices wee made that hurt someone

knowingly or unknowingly - embarrassments made by us

or "them."
These may be some dormant trigger to our memories.

For all of it we are left with dormant emotional

residue.
If any of this is hard to acknowledge, we may have

some emotional charge on it. Let's say we do -

clearance is what we want - confronting the injured to

say "I'm sorry," may or may not be advisable or

comfortable. Imagining a similar situation and

creating a change in attitude or movement may bring

some relief - but primarily forgiving ourselves in

the highest priority. Usually we did the best we

could with the information we had. Most of us think

that what we plan to do is a good idea at the time.
OOOHHH - those thoughts - we've often heard -

thought held in mind produce after their kind - let's

let kindness prevail.

May there be joy on your journey,

Merrily
