CRY ME A RIVER. A JOURNEY WITH MOTHER 25.1.2021

You walked softly through the morning landscape and placed each step next to the flowers of spring. They were beginning to waken to the promise of sunshine warming their hearts once again.

The trees were like ancient beings of oak standing in the kingdom of the forest staring as you walked by.

The river called to you and as you stood beside its gentle air you cried. It was there you left everything you held as pain. You saw it floating like a tall ship majestically taking in the beauty of its surroundings. A white sail silently moving through the blue sky to be pierced by the light of the Sun.

Now you know all that you held as your past has been given back to the Earth to be fed as hope for those who follow. To know that the sins of childhood are not sins only stories of growing from not knowing to become wise through the journey of living.

If you are wise you have let go of pain in forgiveness and gratitude to all. The last person you must forgive is yourself Beloved. It is the harshest judgment of all.

You were never sinful only soulful as you tried to make your way in a world that was unknown to you. As you make friends with your heart you begin to make peace with this life that is waiting for you to be just You.
