Letting Go
Detachment is often understood as letting loose of what is attractive. But it sometimes also requires letting go of what is repulsive. You can indeed become attached to dark forces such as resentment and hatred. As long as you seek retaliation, you cling to your own past. Sometimes it seems as though you might lose yourself along with your revenge and hate — so you stand there with balled-up fists, closed to the other who wants to heal.
– Henri Nouwen, With Open Hands
I am pondering this today. I am being freed from past anger, resentment and hatred. I am ready to move forward and mature into my destiny.
