Forgiveness & Reconciliation

In a book called Boundaries by Drs. Cloud and Townsend, it states:

"When we are hurting, we need to take responsibility for the hurt and make some appropriate moves to make things better.  This may mean letting go of someone and finding new friends.  It may mean forgiving someone and letting them off the hook so we can feel better."

"Forgiveness is something that we do in our hearts; we release someone from a debt that they owe us.  Reconciliation is another matter."  "Forgiveness takes one; reconciliation takes two." 

Do you have pain from not forgiving something or someone?  Are you still living something that happened in the past with hurt?  Something that happened many years ago or just yesterday?  Is is possible that it's done; it's over.  There is nothing about the situation that you can change now?  How would you feel without holding onto this?  What would your life be like?

Would placing it in a stone and throwing the stone in the water help?  How about sweating it out of you?  Putting it on a piece of paper and burning it?  Or how about deciding your tired of the pain and just letting it go?

This is about you feeling at peace; you not hurting anymore.  You can give this to yourself.  The universe wants this for you.  So do I.
