forgiveness

9/21/2014

 
                                                                                           Gratitude for the image Central Neuron by MorpheusZero
Picture
When the pressure builds
and you think you want to blame
someone else,
or even yourself,
breathe into the burning core,
your lungs willing bellows
for the furnace inside.

Offer into this fire
all the ways you know
yourself and other
as victim and perpetrator,
and breathe.

When you open
into the pure sensation,
the full intensity of that which feels
like it could crush you,
you become space.

In this honesty
all stories collapse
into the cauldron
to feed a deeper vision.

Before you have the chance
to see with clarity
you must first admit
you have no idea
what is really going on.

Before you find
your own innocence,
you must first release
your assumptions
about everyone else’s guilt.

So many dead bodies
and tortured souls
on judgement’s
righteous road.

What if there is no outside?

How about we replace
our indignant assertions
with humble curiosity,
claim full responsibility,
each of us,
for our experience,
forgive the world,
forgive ourselves,
return to love,
and then see what happens?
