When time turns turtle

And your world stands upside down

And you are gripped by feelings

That are masked intruders

Who you can’t see, name or fight

 

Then forgive…

 

Forgive the actors

Forgive the faces

Forgive the words

Forgive the circumstances

And forgive yourself for your false assumptions.

 

But remember…

 

Remember your power to change

Remember your largeness

Remember your goodness

Remember all the times

When simple corrections worked wonders

 

-And believe…

 

Believe in the goodness of others

Believe in yourself

Believe that answers exist

Believe in interconnectedness

Believe in a higher consciousness.

 

Forgiveness in essence, is prayer.
