A fast-moving river of tears flows over the rocks and falls of the past into the present, and beyond.
We can choose to stay in the river and be swept away on the current or we can struggle to the shore and walk a different path.
With the river behind us, we are no longer battered by it. Instead, we can move forward with the strength of the earth under foot, allowing the injuries of the past to heal. We can see what blooms along the shoreline.
Forgiveness can be a difficult struggle, but it has a beautiful gift for the giver. A gift of peace. Inner peace, the kind that heals the spirit.
“Forgiveness is a superpower.”
Using that superpower is a personal choice.
