Everything you write is possible even forgiving ourselves. Of course we may have to fail many times before we succeed. I have only so far succeded in not letting my failures blind me or hold me back. I am a work in progress. I wish you luck with your progress as I know you do me. Regards David Your friend in NZ

A wonderful monoku my dearest Demetrios, one we should all take on board, to forgive and forget and benefit our soul. A person with an ego though will choose to differ I'm sure? ...Maria xxx

So true my friend, Maria! A selfish person thinks only of himself and love is alien to him! Thank you very much for your precious visit and comment!

Very true my friend, forgive, forget and move on.. Why keep wallowing in hatred.. Hatred is a burden, some carry unnecessarily.. Lighten the burden, let go..

What a fabulous write my friend, I have missed your presence here on the soup! I am mending slowly, doing better now that I'm in the nursing home and doing more rigorous therapy! This is such a glorious poem, one that I will keep with me! I surely enjoyed reading your delightful and truthful piece this morning! Our soul certainly needs that, to forgive, to exist properly! Great Work!!
