Undoing:
practicing forgiveness has been the undoing of my personal world, it's letting go of the fortress of self that has kept me isolated within a realm of grievance and resentment. Most of this bitterness has been buried so deeply that I was no longer even aware of their existence, being too much a part of my everyday reality to notice. But they were acted upon through my filters of perception, projected outward, and they caused me to view the world a certain way.
I lived my life based upon resentments.
judging everything.
yet thinking I was free.
of course even now I'm not completely free, but it's enough to see this is so, to keep practicing forgiveness within each moment that a trigger should arrive. Life is gracious that way, full of little gifts that act as opportunities to release all my most cherished resentments, letting them go, and with each moment I'm a little freer than before.
lighter.
and so my undoing continues...
until my personal world's forgiven.
completely so.
