Subtlest shadows:
my unforgiving mind is subtle, a quiet victory to the ego without even my conscious awareness. I'm reminded of this in the review of lesson 197, how often I've expected my acts of forgiveness and kindness to be acknowledge even as their silently given. And I don't necessarily mean being appreciated by others, but having that small hope that my enlightenment score is being tallied somewhere up in heaven. A Course in Miracles would call this "forgiveness to destroy" even at this most subtle manner. This is one of those dark corners of the mind I'm asked to expose, that littlest temptation to hoard my forgiveness victories as if they're something special.
It can be but my gratitude I earn. (ACIM, W-197)
forgiveness is my release from the mental prison I've created. It's the recognition of heaven right now. In realizing this my gratitude for the gifts given continue to grow and my commitment to true forgiveness expands to every one of those dark corners. My heart and mind are lighter and lighted, shadows released to the dawn of awareness.
so into those darkest corners,
subtlest shadows,
light.
this is my awakening...and I'm grateful.

I love you, Eric
