Today, most I must time to rejuvenate my soul. Mindful and aware, that we are not our emotions, only experiencing them, understanding that these experiences are based on my perception of the events. More importantly, I understand that I have a conscious choice to accept, embrace and then to also let it move on, to experience more.
The truth is that life does flow, if we allow it to. Some things happen that teach us to be mindfully aware not to resist. This is especially true around experiences that appear as obstacles. We must learn to gently allow for nature to take it's course, with an awareness that the winds come and go to teach. Today is a day to embrace the wisdom within, knowing, with flexibility and softness.
Divine Wisdom, the power of discovery; with the knowledge and insight to seek and to learn the inner depths of one’s soul. The Spirit of Water knows her soul, she understands the path that has lead her to where she stands today and will move her towards where she needs to be. She allows this discovery to guide and move her, compassionate and with kindness, with gentleness in her touch.
With Love, Kindness and a Heart filled with Awareness, I write an open letter to God. This is a letter of forgiveness and grace.
I know that I have done much wrong throughout my life. My actions, reactions, decisions and choices have hurt others many times. Many who have trusted and respected, when trust and respect were not warranted or due. I have acted many times harshly out of ego, greed or fear, not clearly understanding the damage that I was causing. My mistakes are mine alone, I have been in control of every decision that I made. I knew, even at a young age, somehow, that what I was doing was wrong. I also know that these actions have caused much hurt within. So much fear, so much rejection.
As I grow older, I am able to look back at my life and the experiences as a whole. Consciously aware of my mistakes, my sins, I know and understand deep within my heart and soul that my actions have always been a reflection of my feelings of unworthiness. Seeing the whole is often difficult because this is not who I believe that I am nor who I want to be. So I have chosen to move forward.
Can we ever just leave the past behind and move forward? I have always believed that the way out and through is forgiveness. Forgiveness of self. Forgiveness and understanding of the way it was and Grace for the way it can be. I seek forgiveness of my sins; selfishness, greed, anger and ego. I ask forgiveness where I have been blind, hurtful, when I have taken what was not mind to keep. I ask forgiveness and seek grace.
I ask forgiveness as I begin my life moving forward, responsible and renewed that I have learned. My lessons have served me in a manner that have taught me to be a more gentle, kind, loving and compassionate. This is of self and of others. As I make choices, as I respond and react, I am consciously committed to not judging others nor myself according to my ego or pain. I will move forward with an awareness of my thoughts, feelings and emotions. I do so with an understanding that we all make choices based on our experience of love. We are always a reflection of the love within ourselves. This is at the core of my values and beliefs, who I am and who I want to be. I seek forgiveness in order to move forward, whole and complete, with kindness and strength.
I admit that I sometimes do not clearly understand the ways of the universe, the world of discovery. I have sought long and hard to move forward in my life, to do what I want to do, what I feel is a part of who I am.
I am not perfect and I therefore do ask for leniency. I promise to do my best to serve, that I will be genuine and respectful of anothers path, especially when they are acting out in pain.
I ask, that when I hit a road block, when I stumble and I fall, to do so with a gentleness of self. Some days are more difficult to get back up again. I ask for patience with my forgiveness of self. I ask that the light always shine within me and radiate outwards.
I ask that I have faith, in that there is always forgiveness, and that in moving forward there is acceptance.
May today there be peace within. As I begin my journey of today, may I do so with compassion in my heart, gentleness in my eyes, kindness in my touch, love in my thoughts and a smile on my face. And I do so with gratitude. I give gratitude for the many wonderful things in my life, experiences, friends, family and the beauty that surrounds me. I give gratitude for the many lessons that I have learned and the path that I have chosen to experience. May I see the good, the wonderful and the beauty in all that surrounds and those that I meet. May I move forward with a sense of Peace and Gratitude with every step I take and may love be the essence in all that I do.
