Forgiveness is the greatest moment of letting go.
We let go of having things go the way we planned. Let go of the way we think people have failed us, hurt us, disappointed us. Let go of the wishing, hoping, and praying that is directed to the past.
Forgiveness brings us to the now. What are we holding on to? And why?
Refusal to forgive is the anchor we wrap around our necks as we wade into the deep end of some hoarded past transgression. This refusal to release is threatening our very survival; as we struggle to find the next breath, freedom is as immediate as the moment we let go.
Exhale into this moment. Exhale clearing the past. Exhale the stubborn tightness.
Exhale. Exhale. Exhale.
The inhale will take care of itself. (And what a relief it is.)
Breathing with you on this journey up the mountain...
