Breathe deeply and directly

Into your heart

And consider

how you’ve hurt others,

Betrayed

or abandoned them.

Remember the sorrows

You carry from hurting,

Because we all do,

Betray, abandon, make weep,

And shred each others souls.

I remember now,

and feel in my body

These sorrows I carry

And ask forgiveness.

Breathe deeply and directly

Into your heart

And consider

how you’ve hurt yourself,

Betrayed,

or abandoned, your deepest self.

Remember the sorrows

You carry from hurting,

Because we all do,

Betray, abandon, make weep

And shred our own souls.

I remember now

and feel in my body

These sorrows I carry,

And I forgive.

Breathe deeply and directly

Into your heart

And consider

how others have hurt you,

Betrayed

or abandoned you.

Remember the sorrows

You carry from being hurt,

Because everyone does,

Betray, abandon, make weep

And, sometimes, shred our souls.

I remember now,

and feel in my body

These sorrows I carry,

And I forgive.
