To Be Healed

To be healed: 

here's my recurring reply - "to be healed". That's the refrain that plays through my mind as those late night thoughts arise and seek to keep me sleepless, anxious, and feeling alone. Just yesterday I had a wonderful conversation with a brand new friend who framed this so meaningful for me:

these are the blocks to the awareness of love's presence. 

and they're here to be forgiven.

it's just a beautiful reminder as to why forgiveness is such a consistent practice. There might be lifetimes behind us with deep emotional imprints that carry through, unhealed, and beckon to us now. I don't really know, and honestly, even this lifetime carries enough sorrow to haunt me. So regardless of origin, each wave of anxiety is here to be healed. They have one purpose, brought to my awareness in whatever form that had to be taken - and my only role is to be a gracious host and greet them all with love. This is a true welcome, not feigning affection, but simply being grateful for their service in my healing. I do this even through repetition, no longer interested in counting, if it's here, present, then it's to be forgiven. 

and so my night passes.

until everything is healed...for now at least.

forgiveness is a continuous practice.

for as long as it's needed.

I love you, Eric
