Today my mum and I were talking and this is part of what she said to me and, it really struck home...
"If I could take all the hurts, slights, physical, mental and emotional abuse I have suffered, put them into a bag and throw them into the deepest part of the sea, I wonder how I would feel. Would I feel I could fly as I was not carrying that burden any more or, would the remembrance of it keep my feet rooted to the ground...?"
Why would this strike home to me you might ask?
Well... if you are courageous enough to face and let your adversities go what did you do with the remembrance of them?
Did you let them go as well?
You might have put the 'act' into the bag and let it go but are you still holding onto the remembrances within your mind?
Do you continue to drag out, dredge up, think and talk about the remembrance?
If you do then sadly, these are the 'things' that will still hold you back. All that has happened is that you have exchanged one burden (the act) for another one (the remembrance) as...
Remembrance is like the shadow of the act it ties you to the act and if not let go it will always be there - maybe not in the full sunlight but hiding just behind in the shadows ready to emerge... emerge and haunt you at any time!
The burdens of life are hard to bare without replaying the remembering tapes over-and-over again, so if you have forgiven someone and have put the 'act' away what are you doing with the remembrance? True forgiveness not only lets go of the 'act' but everything connected to it including the... remembrance
You must let the remembrance as well as the act go completely, then, and only then, can you be truly free.

By spending time sharing the musings and then reviewing one’s own life, the reader of this guide for life’s journey can set out with determination to discover life’s deep truths. Musings of a Blogger shares the story of a boy who sees a butterfly struggling to emerge from its chrysalis. Desiring to help it, he releases the butterfly, only to discover that the struggle to break free is what gives strength to the butterfly’s wings. Absent the struggle, the butterfly is too weak to fly. The workbook gives shape to one’s struggle, serving to build strength so that one may fly gloriously like a healthy butterfly.
