“i will forgive the tears i was made to shed,
i forgive the pain and the disappointments
i forgive the betrayals and the lies,
i forgive the slanders and intrigues,
i forgive the hatred and the persecution,
i forgive the blows that hurt me,
i forgive the wrecked dreams
i forgive the stillborn hopes,
i forgive the hostility and jealousy,
i forgive the indifference and ill will,
i forgive the injustice carried out in the name of justice,
i forgive the anger and the cruelty,
i forgive the neglect and contempt.
i forgive the world and all its evils…”
………
“I ALSO FORGIVE MYSELF. MAY THE MISFORTUNES OF THE PAST NO LONGER WEIGH ON MY HEART. INSTEAD OF PAIN AND RESENTMENT, I CHOOSE UNDERSTANDING & COMPASSION. INSTEAD OF REBELLION, I CHOOSE THE MUSIC [FROM MY HEART] OF MY VIOLIN. INSTEAD OF GRIEF, I CHOOSE FORGETTING. INSTEAD OF VENGEANCE, I CHOOSE VICTORY…”
……
“I [will] AM capable of loving,
regardless of whether I AM LOVED [in return]
Of giving even when I have nothing
Of WORKING HAPPILY even in the midst of difficulties
Of HOLDING out my hand, even when utterly alone and abandoned,
Of DRYING MY TEARS, even while I weep,
OF BELIEVING, even when no ONE BELIEVES in ME.”

i was in the bookstore yesterday.. Aleph was on display. and when i scanned the book, this is the page that i opened. i figured… what the heck, this book is trying to tell me something. 
i only read the first “forgiveness” part. when i got home, i read the “capable” part… and it struck a chord somewhere… [deep inside]… i am doing all that all throughout my journey [which is never ending.] when people ask me how i can just take things “for granted” — to them.. when i choose not to do anything. i don’t know why. all i know that i have almost everything that my heart truly desires.
>INNER PEACE
>FREEDOM
>CREATIVITY [endless --- and I AM forever greatful]
>TIME – [I have more than enough but can't get to have enough.. the day seem too short!!]
>MUSIC [i just listen .....]
>PURPOSE & MEANING… truthfulness to my dreams.
>WISDOM, ABUNDANCE ….
>and last but not the least…
i have ONLY LOVE inside my HEART. and i choose that over anything else in the world. and
I BELIEVE I AM LOVED. in a way that people may never comprehend how. but then, its really not for them to dissect that.

Pingback: Let’s talk about forgiveness | After The Betrayal
Your deep compassion reveals itself in such delight and creativity; thank you. An inner fountain seems our source of such love and I want to share an inner experience that you have inspired my wanting to ‘come out’ and share:
Become a tiny cell, like a marble among other colorful marbles, and soften and get fluid and plump, like a grape. We can hydrate and become a fountain together in any shape the energy forms in the flux lines of God’s will. Connect in special intelligence and dance and flow in the magic of effervescence. We are everywhere and timeless, Peaceful and content in the water cascading all around us. We become the water of God’s will and no vessel holds us in one shape.
We smile and slide close to each other with smooth cushioned resilient skin that appears as light to reflect our life for each other. We are conscience, and have a conscience and consciousness and bathe in the music, colors and light of innocence and growing and flowing and changing. We sprinkle around in the fountainhead of the souls of love that we are ever transforming in energy and timelessness. We become becoming and glitter in and inspire each other in God’s water, our tears and joy.
you just made me cry…
it brings joy and motivates me to inspire others more. 
thank you for sharing… in my heart, only love matters, nothing else. if everyone has it or is in it,….. they’d be able to find whatever it is they are looking for.
thank you for your kind words.
Lovely
I some way we all have everything we always desire but forget to see them
that is so true. sometimes, we have to close our eyes to really see.
I am agree with you.
I like your writing so keep up the good work.
thank you…
