Forgiving Is Poem by O Anna Niemus

Forgiving is
. unplugging a clogged sewer
. putting down a heavy burden on a very hot day
. recognizing God who indwells our foes as well
. realizing that all return hurts are boomerangs of what
we sent out in this or another life
. taking that same old picture..
off the tv screen
. taking the needle off the broken record
. ending the projection of self rejection onto others
. melting the icebergs in the sea of divine love
