There is space in your heart
to hold more than you think…
The pain and injustice of the past
seem overwhelming –
and yet with deep compassion
you can hold and transform all of it.
It might take a while,
yet as you practice self-compassion
and forgiveness
the space in your heart will grow.
It will hold you
all of you:
the hurt inner child,
the abandoned inner teenager,
the struggling young adult,
and your current self.
And then it will also let go
of those who hurt you.
Had they known you
and known themselves
they would not have hurt you.
And now your heart can grow
as you let them go, forgive them, forgive yourself
and make space for new beginnings
and new ways of living:
Vulnerable, compassionate and loving
Your heart can transform the past…
