🐘 A Note on Healing and Hope
Sometimes, the weight of the year and the sadness from the past feel too heavy. I was crying today because of all that pain. (also because apparently having TCM treatments unblock deep-seated emotions trapped in the body). 😔

A friend reminded me of something very simple and true: Tears are not wasted.

They are like the rain that waters the dry parts of your heart. Slowly, a beautiful pink rose will start to grow from that hard ground. 🌹

Rumi says if a door doesn't open, just stay there. Soon, secret paths will show up that only you can see.

I am choosing to believe in that secret path and the rose. Sending peace to anyone else carrying a heavy heart thru the holidays. You are strong.

🌙 Goodbye & Forgiveness

✦ I am sorry
for speaking in anger,
for sharing what was private,
for letting hurt spill into the world.

✦ You were kind and loving
as best you could be.
I see that now,
and I am grateful.

✦ I let myself be consumed
by bitterness and shadows.
The past is gone.
We all move on.

✦ This is the end.
No turning back.
No more apologies,
no more regrets.

✦ The path is forward —
toward healing,
toward love,
toward light.

✦ Love is not about clinging,
but about knowing when to let go.

✦ I am grateful for what was,
and free for what will be.
