Blame
Obstructive, loathsome
Gnawing, binding, debilitating
Gathering negative energy within
Stagnant
Forgiveness
Merciful release
Empowering, illuminating, peaceful
Freedom for miraculous healing
Liberating

"On Dragonfly Wings with Buttercup Tea" 
A theme I think that everyone can relate to…and though we all know that forgiving is good for the soul, we don’t know the road to take to forgiveness. It is difficult to soften a hardened heart. The words obstructive, stagnant…they say it all. A meaningful poem.

Rosie – thank you for your feedback and comments. Forgiveness is not easy – with our self, often the most difficult to direct or allow forgiveness … but … it is liberating and the answer to so much the keeps us from growing as well as healing – emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually.

We focused on forgiveness in Brasil – when we truly look within and acknowledge it, you realise where you need to let go, my heart and soul feel much lighter. We need to forgive ourselves as much as others ❤ thanks for a beautiful post

Becca,
So right on target … we should always forgive ourselves so that we can heal. Blame does nothing but keep us stuck. This is so well written. Thank you for sharing it.
Namaste,

We can forgive others, but unless we forgive ourselves — then the circle is incomplete for healing!

No, it isn’t easy at all, and, sometimes we are the one who needs to forgive ourselves, the most.
but, it is empowering. Lovely, eloquent prose.
