you may do this.it is permitted.you may begin the story of your life right now, in this present moment.it is permitted.each moment provides us the opportunity to re-frame disempowering thoughts and images we might carry from our distant past. we can, with an open heart and tenderness, forgive ourselves and others.
each one of us has experienced hardship and pain. those experiences have left scars. we can provide the soothing balm to heal those hurts and minimise the scars.yes, it takes courage and determination. it takes a willingness to look, to understand and then to see the gift in each of those hurts. we would not be the elders we are today without them. some gifts are hard to see, hard to understand. when we can allow an open space growth can, eventually, make the gift clear.
the healing may bring tears of re-lived pain or tears of relief or tears of joy. there may be a deep acceptance of our experience and a deeper gratitude for the wisdom we have gained through it.and then begins the life with a new perception, a different understanding of that which pained. there might be a lightness inside, a load relieved, a wound healed. there begins the life of a more liberated elder. we have permitted it ourselves, without waiting for an external source to tell us it’s okay to live in freedom.
how would we live our daily lives, each breath, each moment, inside that freedom? how would our relationships change and grow? how would our sense of ourselves evolve?where would the new story of our lives begin?
