Is starting over possible?

“allow them to take failure not as a measure of their worth but as a chance for a new start.”
(Wizard of Oz)

image

Sometimes we think because we failed miserably in our past that starting over is an impossibility.
We think that it’s hopeless for our families, friends, business associates,  or neighbors to forgive our mishaps; however, the key for successfully starting over does not depend on the ability of others to forgive us, but on our ability to forgive ourselves.
Without forgiveness of our past mistakes there can be no future of tolerance of ourselves, or for others.
Remember being taught in Sunday school as a child, “Love thy neighbor as thyself?”
If we don’t love ourselves it’s an impossibility to love others. Forgiveness comes before love. Once we can forgive ourselves, we can love ourselves. Then, and only then can we share our love with others, regardless of how they respond.
Once we internalize this, we can slowly and gently start to love ourselves once again, or maybe for the first time.

We can completely make a new start.
A confirmation through my own life experiences is proof for me that we can absolutely rid ourselves of past guilt that had once been the keeper of our souls.
[Dawna Bowles ( C ) 07/14]

“I am who I am because of my past not in spite of it.”

“I give up all hope of having a better past.”

We keep on deceiving ourselves in regard to our faults,  until we at last come to look upon them as virtues.

Reflections of

the way love used to be…

image

visionless they wandered
Far beyond the sea

image

The desert has no lighthouse
How were they to see

image

Swallowed by deficiencies of their  souls 

image

Silent screams in a
Starless night or so it seemed

image

Without a struggle or fight

image

They absorb light
Without reflecting any rays

image

Lacking in hue and brightness

image

Ebony and ivory vanished in their day

image

Their melody stopped for
It was the end of their song…

You must love every atom

LEVI FOREVER YOUNG

Levi,

May God’s bless and keep you always,
May your wishes always come true,
May you always do for others
And let others do for you.
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung,
May you stay forever young.

May you grow up to be righteous,
May you grow up to be true,
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you.
May you always be courageous,
Stand upright and be strong,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.

May your hands always be busy,
May your feet always be swift,
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift.
May your heart always be joyful,
May your song always be sung,
May you stay forever young,
Forever young, forever young,
May you stay forever young.
(Bob Dylan)
