Thanks for your interest.

~~~~~~~~~~

I am no expert on this subject matter, ooooh no.

And I don't claim to have written this to preach to anyone, oooh no.

In fact, I have only started to finally write about it much later in my life, finally more recently. I have wanted to, but it's not been easy...

This is a very difficult and challenging subject matter for many of us.

I admit... that I used to feel so bitter on the subject matter of forgiveness. I have struggled with it so much so... even after finally realizing that the pain was really only my own pain, and that the person/s or whatever I couldn't forgive likely didn't even realize anything and was just going on with life.

The things that I have written, or done to release these feelings... are truly only for ME, and what I need to do for myself. Sharing them "outloud" just helps to make them "real" and "official" and keep me to my promises to "work on" my self.

There are truly some things in life that might be way too difficult for some people to ever find ways to forgive. There is that continuum, and I do understand and have compassion for it, and I am NO judge of anyone, and I am NO professional psychologist.

But for the most part, I have found that for me, I need to work on it. It's NOT perfect, but it is improved, and I'd say those knots of anger have been gradually untied, at least.

Thank you, I hadn't seen your comment for a long time, I was preparing to move in March, and moved in April to another state, but I am happy to finally see this very lovely comment. It has touched me so much, and I thank you so much for leaving this for me to see.
It has brought tears to my eyes.
Thank you for seeing the way I try to see life, daily.
Greeting from Oregon, USA!

Well i hawe anger in me for this wordl and hatred for fool, speaking a lies and thinking this is the truth. Heh, how ironic and pissing off - only for them. I wont tell here any examples... but this poem, says something for me.
Its like challenge... forgive - is hard to do, when someone takes from you your happyness. Ore dont understand it.
Anyway, i like to thank you - wery nice poem.

Reading through this, again, I realize I still have a lot to work on! Probably as much or more than the first time I read it. Forgiveness has been a constant daily challenge for me, it seems, for the past almost year, now, and that's so uncharacteristic for me. Reading things like this seem to help, some, though. Maybe not with the entire forgiveness process, but, knowing someone else has struggled with it, too....helps!

I've missed your poetry, would you ever be interested in a kind of poetic collab?

TeaPhotography In reply to CraigJonathonHill [2009-11-18 11:58:47 +0000 UTC]

Probably...

[sorry late to respond, only reason being, offline for just over a week... bleh, long challenging story, AAANYway...]

Most likely, what are your initial ideas?
You can note me with them, unless you have already, I have not been to notes to begin catch up there...

But if you have a subject...
or if you mean, you the poem on one of my images you have in mind... or all new material...

or just let me know... I'm sure we could do this.

You're welcome, but, thank you for writing just what I needed to hear at that moment! Not sure I'm able to put it "into practice" just yet, but, at least it's already in the very back, dark recesses of my mind!

TeaPhotography In reply to mim304 [2009-11-18 11:53:47 +0000 UTC]

Welll, you are quite welcome then for writing it. It helps, it's therapy for me. But to get the kind of feedback that you gave helps as much or more. It let's me know, that "all of this" doesn't just go around and around in my own head- even when "all of this" doesn't have to be the exact same thing. But you know what I mean, I can tell.

And, I don't feel you have to put it "into practice" just yet. But the fact that you are aware of these thought process waaaay in the back of the of the very dark dust cob webby recesses of your mind... is just fine.

You're an awesome person, Mim.
[oh, p.s. sorry late back to this and I'm sure MANY things in gen. on dA, but was offline for a week... I'm just now chippin' away... eeek. ]
