Heart-Reach

Heart-reach:

I'm not exactly sure when I finally got it, truly understanding that it's the entire world that needs forgiven, and that my smallest part was to simply forgive each moment as it came to me. The initial stage of my practice was to confront the big issues that haunted me, paring them down to manageable thoughts of past events that could no longer hurt me in the present. I thought of forgiveness as a tool of self-improvement, a means of setting myself free from the resents of the past. And of course it certainly is an effective means of healing and I felt considerably better for my practice. But through years of deepening study of A Course in Miracles, developing a sincere and committed wish to opening fully to its message - 

forgiveness became what I offered to the world.

by this I mean that, while yes, there's still ongoing issues to forgive, it's a much deeper and ongoing practice that touches every aspect of my life. It's not about forgiving "things' or people, not solely at least - it's more profound, I see it now as a continuous meditation on the presence of the holiest of lights that shines from within us all, animates the world, expanding my heart-reach through every small act of grace and kindness. 

forgiveness is living in that heart-reach of love.

continuously so.

and even when I forget, as I still often do....it becomes another aspect of my practice.

just one more thing to be forgiven.

I love you, Eric
