My Only Possible Response

My only possible response: 

forgiveness is ongoing, a continuous zen practice of recognizing my truest self in the reflection of another, a meditation through my daily interactions. It's easier now, but the lessons are still forthcoming, and often equally painful as the ones in the past. There's no bypassing here, life is to be lived fully, and not retreated from in anyway - and that's the great importance of forgiveness, it brings me to the reality of each moment fully prepared to offer love over my still present stirrings of resentment. I haven't fully awakened to the presence of the eternal Christ-mind within me...but I see it more often now, peeking through the appearance of hurt and anger presented by another, offering me a blessed opportunity to extend love and healing through this practice of forgiveness. I see myself in you, both the anger and the pain, my own resentments as well as yours - and I see the ever-present eyes of Christ within you too, showing me infinite love and such deep tenderness and compassion. 

I am revealed through this forgiveness. 

awakening.

and my only possible response now is...

thank you,thank you,

thank you.

I love you, Eric
