“To straighten the crooked you must first do a harder thing- straighten yourself.” This was the thought we used to start out the noonday meditation this week, just a little thought provoking statement that will hopefully get us all to turn within.

So often it seems as if the world has turned off its light of love by engaging in acts of war and hatred towards each other. Just last week the incident in Aurora, Colorado shook the world to tears.

The process of forgiving is un-going, imagine if you were holding unto some emotions from your childhood it would certainly take a process to truly let that stuff go.

When someone you care about hurts you, you can hold on to anger, resentment and thoughts of revenge — or embrace forgiveness and move forward. Nearly everyone has been hurt by the actions or words of another. Perhaps your mother criticized your parenting skills, your colleague sabotaged a project or your partner had an affair. These wounds can leave you with lasting feelings of anger, bitterness or even vengeance — but if you don’t practice forgiveness, you might be the one who pays most dearly. It’s like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.
