“You must forgive yourself, you know, for not knowing any better than you did at the time that you make something so. If you can do this much, you can release yourself from a magnitude of contention that you have created against the self. If you decide, right now, that every choice that you have ever made was born in awareness that you held at the moment that choice was made, you can be understanding of the way that you operated and when. If you knew now what you knew then, you may well have done differently, but you cannot”
― Paul Selig, The Book of Knowing and Worth: A Channeled Text
A secret place
confessions
were made,
the song of the waters
our serenade,
and we grew quite fond
of the sacred trust,
that connects our lives
like cosmic dust…
wounds gushed forth and sore hearts bled
stones cried out from the river bed,
our words became flesh
freeing our pain,
we rewrote our stories in the pouring rain..
we forgave ourselves for the times we’d failed
we changed the script and
and with grace
we exhaled…
like a tidal wave that resets our lives
together we sensed
that we had survived!

So important to realize we can only do our best at any given point in time.
Love the quote and your verse, Ally.

Glad you are able to rebound, Ally. My husband and I received our second COVID vaccination yesterday. I’m feeling a bit more optimistic, but still cautious.
