13 luglio "Forgiveness""Forgiveness"
Forgiveness is a retrospective on life's events
as we travel into the twilight.
It is a gray wash that adds softness
to the edges of things
that once seemed so well defined.
It is the retooling of our souls,
the knowing that what once seemed so important
has now faded like the evening sun.
The course of life's decisions defines us
and upon reflection,
we find that some may have been planned,
but many more have been preordained.
Words convey roles are greater than we ever thought.
Who of us could have ever imagined the import of such things as
woman, gender, cultural wounding, steward, underwriter, daughter, European influence;
each adding a new layer
with its own shading to a time and a place.
Unwitting decisions early on.
The compromise of freedom for security
now shackled and indentured.
Soul and spirit snuffed like a candle sinking into itself.
And yet, time and wisdom ignites a flicker of new recognition.
Spirit becomes the bellow for life.
Time dilutes the anger.
The recognition that what is left is deserving of our full attention.
Gentleness, love and care - a new reading of our soul.
