#BlogElul Day 12

Forgive


To forgive

does not mean to forget

or blot out from memory

Some words remain

Some actions stay embedded

To forgive

does not mean to issue a free pass

or to engage in magic thinking

To me it means that I will

not carry around a lodestone

weighing me down

I will forgive words and actions 

but it doesn’t mean I will respect

or condone or not call out

I will not wait for you to ask

for forgiveness

It will be a free gift

A gift I will accept as well
