there is wrong , there is right; there is dark, there is light
there is below, there is above; there is hate, there is love
there is evil, there is good; there is shouldn’t, there is should
there is black, there is white; there is blindness, there is sight
there is fatigue, there is rest; there is worst, there is best
there is fog, there is sun; there is hell, there is heaven

I choose the one I wish, the path leads to destruction or bliss
You hurt me then, you won’t hurt me now
I hated you then, I forgive you now
Pulling the knife from my back, I drop it to the ground
Walking silently away I will break your hold
Thankfully we often do not get what we think we deserve

Love the yin and yang take on the prompt. And it is absolutely correct! I also appreciate how it gives me the feeling of “ah well…life goes on”. We should really allow ourselves to just let go more often, in knowing that there is a natural course to everything and, well, what comes around goes around. lol 🙂
Thanks, Mark! xox
It is so true Kellie, we rationalize, justify etc, etc when often it is just that life, the good, the bad and the ugly! (I stole that last part :))
Really great response to the prompt and definitely nails real life right on the head!
It is where I am at trying to move forward but often held by the past and often it is simply me that won’t let go. Thank you Sharla!
Thanks. 🙂
So true in its simplicity yet it’s not all for those hanging perilously from a paradox.
Isn’t life sometimes a paradox?
Beautifully said, my friend…
“You hurt me then, you won’t hurt me now
I hated you then, I forgive you now”
The lines above were my favorite. A valuable lesson for all of us!
Many blessings,
Cheryl
Forgiveness – easy to say harder to do, but it is what we are called to do. Thanks Cheryl, God Bless!
