We are all a magnificent work in progress. Things tend to get so bloody serious I frequently forget to enjoy the unfolding.

But I think it begins with "permission". The idea of letting go is easy... but to get to that point, where you can just release... that's another thing. It's all about loving ourselves, being confident in ourselves, and believing in that we are where we need to be. The lessons are right in front of us. They are all there within us. We just have to give ourselves permission to learn the lessons.<br /><br />I once tried to teach someone how to draw. They said, "I am not good at this. I cannot do this. My friend told me never to draw since I am so bad at this." And when she held the pencil, her hand went limp. When she tried to make a mark... it'd be this smeared, shaky thing. So I told her to stop. Put down the pencil and breathe. Then pick the pencil up and to have her write her name and then to put down the pencil and look again. "See... you've drawn arabesques, mountain peaks, desert clouds, the petals of flowers. You can draw." So we began again. And we focused on breaking down the walls that she had built and others had reinforced. We focused on the permission to draw, to create, and to be an artist.<br /><br />We can all do miracles, we just have to give ourselves permission to believe. I am happy to see that you've given yourself permission to forgive and are moving into much greener territories.Andrew Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04191233443131580096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1641979920283745008.post-76768759351700717642011-02-25T15:06:35.300-05:002011-02-25T15:06:35.300-05:00Keli - indeed, a very powerful day.

I'm still very much a work in progress, but it feels really good. Thing is we never get it done and it's never finished.
