Forgive
I release and forgive.
Ocean
waves crash and roll over the beach in a repetitive cadence. The ocean
is home to countless animals and continues its rise and fall, rolling in
and out, regardless of weather, season, or changes on the shore. It is
not affected by who comes to watch the tides or frolic in the waves.
When I am struggling to forgive, I remember the ocean. I draw inspiration from the continuous movement and clearing of any limitations. I imagine myself writing in the sand the situation or person I believe has upset me; then I experience release as the waves gently wash away my words.

Then
Peter came and said to him, “Lord, if another member of the church sins
against me, how often should I forgive? As many as seven times?” Jesus
said to him, “Not seven times, but, I tell you, seventy-seven
times.”—Matthew 18:21-22
