Here it is...forgiveness of you, of me, of us...forgiveness of all and everything. Forgiveness of my BFF for slighting me even if s/he wasn't aware of it...or because s/he wasn't aware of it! Forgiveness of Donald Trump and his ilk for attempting to destroy America and...uh-oh...of the Lord for allowing him, them and that to happen.
The hard lesson to learn unto acceptance is we cannot self-will forgiveness...we can want to, which is probably a must, but we can't pull it off all on our own.
Forgiveness is of God in the quiet of our Soul...God doesn't come with bells and whistles.
I often think true forgiveness happens after-the-fact...when we remember our occasion for forgiveness, and the memory is held in tender thoughts.
Word of warning...we do not dwell there. God's work is as gossamer to the steel-toed egoic mind. When we remember, best we smile, say thank you, move on.
When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me, speaking words of wisdom, 'Let it be, oh, let it be.' -- "Let It Be," The Beatles
Thank you.
