Forgiveness

The harshness in my words,

the hard shell around my heart,

the rigidity in my lower back,

is
the
state of
UNFORGIVENESS.

UNFORGIVENESS
is rooted in
past actions
and
past experiences.

Without
FORGIVENESS,

each act of compassion
feels
hollow,

each act of love
feels
false,

each act of devotion
feels
inauthentic.

Without
FORGIVENESS,
there is no
healing.

The single
act
of
whole-hearted,
whole-body,
whole-minded
FORGIVENESS,

allows me
to melt
into
trust,

to disappear
into
surrender.
