The Way of Forgiveness

In honor of Easter, Spring, and this magical time of renewal, the following poem honors that space within all of us that might benefit from more forgiveness:  be it forgiving others or ourselves.  Embrace this time of re-birth and let go of anything that no longer serves you. Start today – the first day of the rest of our lives.  Each day - the chance to begin again. Embody spring.  Go from dormant to bud to bloom.  Smile.  Enfold the good that is yours: waiting for you in the warmth of the sun, the petals of the blossoming flowers, the beckoning call of the robin’s song.  Let go and know that joy. 


The Way of Forgiveness 

Asking questions
Seeking your truth
Living each day:
An open heart.

Stilling the doubts
Illuminating darkness
Seeing the light:
A compassionate heart.

Releasing control
Embracing the lesson
Sharing your story:
A generous heart.

Loving what is
Letting go of what isn’t
Beginning anew:
A grateful heart.

The joy of forgiveness
Is that soul deep knowing
There is always more good
Than any one heart can hold.
