A Call for Renewal!
I don’t know if it is the winds blowing through the Rocky Mts., bringing the early signs of spring or if it is after such a long time of feeling bad, I am actually starting to feel good again, but I feel a call for renewal. It is a call to regenerate and recreate life in a more positive way. But even as I look to the spring and the promise that it brings, I am aware of the clean up that needs to be done before I can really feel the spring. For me that is the work of truly opening my heart and doing the work of forgiveness.
I have had many imagined wrongs and places in my life where it seemed like the treatment that I received was unfair. But those feelings, like tiny seeds of resentment keep me from feeling the true joy that spring can bring. I have always said that feeling resentment is like taking poison and wanting others to be affected. But resentment can be a very subtle thing, masked in my case by a sense of wanting things to be fair. I am ready to give it all up. To forgive the past, all that has been done and all that was not done. To forgive it all and ultimately to forgive myself, for my part in the missteps of my life.
So I have been practicing forgiving and sending love into all of the people and situations in the past. Practicing coming from the heart and feeling the love that can be in each moment of time. Every time I get stuck in my head, I bring my attention into my heart and focus on feelings of love. It is not always easy, but it is effective. I wish you all a very wonderful spring!
