~Forgiveness~
my eve of self discovery
I shook it up
the u & i
we children in
in space
& time
there is no time in space
an anger deep was ever mine
it touched my spine
my very soul
no not your fault
or nor was mine
it is what was
it is

After this poem was written the author Norman Cousins came to mind, as I thought of his groundbreaking book Anatomy Of An Illness, which so many of us read decades ago. I still keep it at the top of my list as it was truthful, & ever so influential to essential aspects of the~ mind, body medicine movement.
As not to muddle the artwork shared above with letters of text, & such am including the credits just below of the wonderful artists who have shared their enduring talents~

Always a Rich and Rewarding read at your Blog Page, Cheryl. When we Forgive, we are then able to move on. Life is a Book in its self, and we are the Writers of each Chapter...Just some thoughts of my own.
I believe Norman Cousins also said, "Laughter is the Best Medicine"!
