Above all else I value peace of mind. When my mind is at ease my life flows with the currents of life- mishaps, mistakes and mayhem included. Without peace of mind even the smallest task becomes a major chore and life becomes a struggle up a never ending stream of issues.
I don't always immediately find this peace - but I (almost) always find my way towards. There is a path to peace and it's a simple path - yet not easy. We can't travel this path with a heavy burden, So the more we carry - the more anger, hate, bitterness and resentment we carry - the farther from our destination we will find ourselves. So we need to sort through these heavy bags and dismiss the weight of their disturbance. We need our arms free to welcome and not to hold a lifetime of luggage. Let go. Let go. Let go. Recognize the weight of these issues, acknowledge it, and forgive it - it served a purpose of protection that is no longer of any need. Let it go. One item at a time, one issue at a time, free ourselves from accumulating more weight for the heart. Let go even as it comes to pass. Forgive.
Peace,
Eric
