learnin'...

okay.
let's just pretend for a minute.
what if you are really here to learn to be love?
well, you already ARE love....but you've forgotten.
so you're here to remember.
what if that's for real?

well.....some of the hardest challenges would be the
best teachers, yes?

forgiveness has got to be part of love.
no brainer.

i was just tellin' a good good friend that it's easy
for me to forgive even really horrible things if there's
remorse, change, and it's done. it isn't repeated.
that i can do. i think. as far as i can figure anyway.

but when there's no remorse, no seeing of the harm,
no change, continuing of the actions....gosh......
then what do you do? i get angry. and definitely don't
do the forgiveness deal.

i haven't got that down yet.
seems like there are moments i do.
but i think those are just moments where i'm not really
mindful, or not really holding it all. i don't know.
maybe i've got it a little.
but certainly not all!
certainly not all!

but!
what if we're here to learn to be love?
for real.
wow...
wouldn't that be like one of the most incredible lessons
you could get?!
to forgive even as it goes on.

gosh.......i never get religious as i'm not religious.
but that sure pops in the crucifixion, doesn't it?
he forgives right as they're in the middle of it all.

hmmmm....yeah, well i'm kinda thinking he had love down
real well.

interesting stuff.

so.
i sit and watch a show in front of my eyes that bothers
me a ton....
but now......i'm lookin' at it from a new angle.

what can i learn here?
what am i capable of feeling and doing.....???

can i really learn to be love?
at least can i get one more step closer???

not if i let this opportunity pass me by.
interesting.
interesting.
