Work of sight is done.
Now do heart work
on the pictures within you.
~ by Rainer Maria Rilke
Bless all you've been, bless who you are now, bless who you are becoming, and then, as after forgiveness, let go...
Forgiveness means that I am willing to forgive the other person for not being God -- for not fulfilling all my needs. I, too, must ask forgiveness for not being able to fulfill other people's needs. Our heart -- the center of our being -- is part of God. Thus our heart longs for satisfaction and total communion... But since we want so much and we get only a part of what we want, we have to keep on forgiving people for not giving us all we want. The interesting thing is that when you can forgive people for not being God, then you can celebrate that they are a reflection of God.
