let anger and resentment go…

“Now is the time to let go of the resentment and anger that’s been holding you back. It’s time to heal and to move forward.”
Your Angel’s Message:
You’ve drawn this card for a reason. Now is the time to release feelings of irritation and anger. Your angels understand that you may well be perfectly justified in feeling the way you do. However, they urge you to move forwards. Holding on to resentment only hurts you. It has no effect on others around you or the people who have done you wrong. You’re paying a very high price for keeping these negative feelings within you. 

Remember that forgiving someone doesn’t mean you’re okay with what they have done. It doesn’t mean you need to be their new best friend either. It simply means that you are no longer prepared to carry that pain within you. 
What You Should Do:
Stop punishing yourself for the actions of others. You no doubt feel tormented by your feelings. Release these to God and the angels. Ask them to take your pain away. When you do this, you will feel such a huge burden is released. You can move on with your life. Negative people and events no longer define who you are. You are fully and completely free.
Your Affirmation:
“I let go of resentment and anger. I feel myself being filled with healing light. I forgive.”

IF


by Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you


Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,


If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,


But make allowance for their doubting too;


If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,


Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,


Or being hated, don’t give way to hating

,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;


If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
I

f you can meet with Triumph and Disaster


And treat those two impostors just the same;


If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken


Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,


Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken

,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,


And lose, and start again at your beginnings


And never breathe a word about your loss;


If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew


To serve your turn long after they are gone,


And so hold on when there is nothing in you


Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,


Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,


If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,


If all men count with you, but none too much;


If you can fill the unforgiving minute


With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,


Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,


And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son

Ariel…the archangel

Ariel the archangel chose me at my birth

to bring all the memories from my past life

to fill me with abundance of talent

and financial independence.

He/she is the representative for all the animal spirits

who wish to demonstrate the Godhead to me

Open my heart, Lord of the Universe, to these spirit guards.

Let me fly to fulfill your will!

Long Term


by Stephen Dunn

On this they were in agreement

:
everything that can happen between two people


happens after a while

or has been thought about so hard


there’s almost no difference


between desire and deed.

Each day they stayed together, therefore,


was a day of forgiveness, tacit,


no reason to say the words.

It was easy to forgive, so much harder


to be forgiven. The forgiven had to agree
t

o eat dust in the house of the noble

and both knew this couldn’t go on for long.


The forgiven would need to rise;


the forgiver need to remember the cruelty

in being correct.


Which is why, except in crises,


they spoke about the garden,

what happened at work,


the little ailments and aches


their familiar bodies separately felt.

Epigraph:

Stories move in circles…So it helps if you listen in circles….And part of the finding is the getting lost.  And when you’re lost, you start to look around and to listen.    Deena Metzger

I looked :

and found fisted anger:

rage in my cells.

saw the way to heaven

was forgiveness.

grew redemption.

Footnote:

On this date in 1911, Dutch physicist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes discovered superconductivity using mercury.

You can run a charge through a loop of superconducting wire, and it will hold its charge indefinitely, even when the battery is removed.

Thank you Hanna Anderson for the GIF.

Who knew forgiveness
is a transformation?
unclasp-let it go!

When the fog lifts…

Forgiveness is fog
that lifts me up to cradle
sharp cutting edges.

Cry for grace.
