My past mistakes, troubles, bothersome temptations, regrets and misunderstandings are gone with the wind.
Not gone with the wind because I don't care about them, but because I wrote them down, forgave myself, sought forgiveness from my higher power, then burned them and let them fly away, never to come into existence again.
When I've done something I know I will regret, I write it down to get it out of my head, seek restitution for my actions and humbly bear my being to my Heavenly Father for forgiveness of those actions. Who wants to live with the weight of past actions anyway? Well, some people can be addicted to their emotions, but I'm sure I'll get to that in a later post.
Then I burn what I wrote, sealing those issues away into eternity with fire.
I prefer to do this on windy days. It's more fun watching those ashes fly away.
Breathe. Let it all out. Let go of what you have held inside you for so long. It wants to be free. It doesn't want to weigh you down and halt your progression.
We all have trials. Not one of us is perfect, but then, that would be the reason we're here, wouldn't it be?
To get over those trials is possibly the hardest trial we have yet to face. The funny thing is... it's easy... when you search for how to do it.
Love you all,
Dallin Hughes
Your writing is so clear, clean, emotionally moving, and visual. Don't ever tell me you can't write well, because I will hold your work up to you and remind you what is true.
ReplyDeleteI love how you carried the imagery of the wind and fire through your piece. I often ask that my troubles be transformed into light, which fits your letting go ritual well. I felt the lightness of your burdens being carried away by the wind of your faith.
My favorite line of this post: "I prefer to do this on windy days. It's more fun watching those ashes fly away."
Yes, properly letting go, and then looking forward and not back is so vital to our well-being and to others around us when we do. Thank-you for sharing the beauty of your soul, Dallin. Speaking of fire, I am duly lit.
Yes, there is no doubt about the progression of my ability to articulate through writ. Haha. That doesn't mean I'm satisfied with where I'm at, though. Thank-you for your loving encouragement!
