Apologies and forgiveness and moving on …

Sitting here in the darkness these words feel so sequential; as if their execution is a simple as tapping them out on my iPhone touch screen.

And … I realize it is.

My rocket man is out of town and I rarely sleep soundly when he is away … So my meditation and yoga practice had an extremely early start time today. The sky was magical with its fluffs of clouds dotting the sky, and its collage of stars and planets twinkling brightly against the darkness.

I tried to photograph it … But of course the result didn’t turn out to be very magical.

Which is example of how it is when we attempt to capture the sequence of events that facilitates our own moving on …

Life changes but there is not a moment of capture,

or a tangible point in time.

It simply happened.

This morning’s dreamy sky stills me; which allows me to remember my dreams during the night: gentle continuations of conversations I had with my Bravehearts yesterday. We talked about love and grace, forgiveness and reconciliation.

Each conversation strummed a chord in my heart. New music being composed — and new “verses” to old songs with snappy rhythms continue to loop in my mind this morning. This is the {music} I have been waiting for … My cue to allow myself to take center stage in my life story.

We don’t necessarily need to be over something (or someone) to be able to move on … To resume dancing in the direction of your dreams. To take center stage and assume the role of lead character — instead of waiting for someday.

We don’t have to wait until (fill-in-the-blank) before we move onto stage after we “exited right” in order to cope or to deal with matters which didn’t need to be played out for an audience.

Because regardless of our varied backgrounds, there is a situation (or someone) that haunts us. That motions us off stage and mocks us with charges of self-centeredness or being a quitter once we resolve to move on.

There are decisions we made that didn’t quite go as we hoped. Choices other people made that started a chain reaction of events over which we had no control over.

Moving on looks like this: facing forward.

And it is not selfish to invest in your one wild and precious life … To dream and to plan and to act upon those dreams.

An apology (to self or another person) is an event; forgiveness is an event. Reconciliation and.or resolution is not guaranteed — and certainly these aspects are ongoing.

Moving on looks like this: facing forward.
