~Taking Flight~ I can't forget that moment when it was as if the chains finally broke and the dark clouds finally lifted giving away to the brightness of day, the answer hidden in the dark skies only needed to find that ray of sunshine to make it reach further than it ever had before likened to the light breaking upon a new day its message arose so clear and like a butterfly  taking flightfor the first time a heart finally found its way~ to forgiveness. If I have touched one heart through my words, then I have acheived my dream... [This message has been edited by Gentle Spirit (09-19-2002 07:26 PM).] |

I like this, Donna, how the path to forgiveness begins with the burst of chains and the looking forward to a fresh day. Yes! that is it! When each day, you find you look forward to, i think the healing is finally over. jeff [This message has been edited by ShadowRider (09-19-2002 11:39 PM).] |

I do not believe that the release of pain that forgiveness can bring to the forgiver, can be explained any better than you have just done. To "forgive those who trespass against us", is one of the greatest gifts we can give to one's own self. Your words so eloquently display this. ~ May you never have need to forgive another~ Linda |

I have been trying to respond to others more than replying to each response so please forgive me for the group response. You have all gifted me so very much with your special responses and each one means so much to me in their own way. Learning to forgive others is hard, and often times learning to forgive ourselves can be even harder......but necessary. Sometimes when we just keeping reaching for the light it finally shows itself to us in the most unexpected way  and this it did indeed. Thank you all so very much. If I have touched one heart through my words, then I have acheived my dream... [This message has been edited by Gentle Spirit (09-21-2002 01:22 PM).] |

There is much to be learnt from your words here. Well done, and keep reaching for the light! Maybe all one can do is hope to end up with the right regrets. ~Arthur Miller |
