The Flower of Forgiveness
To move forward, one must forgive. What is gone, now we must acknowledge, we must accept, we must let go. A new path ahead, just as this flower, rises and blossoms. Our environment, the background behind this flower, has its place. From here, we have come to be. The past, that time gone, has shaped us. It does not limit us. It only makes us stronger. Now, the time has come, for us to shape ourselves. To leave behind what has held us back. To climb the flower of forgiveness.
We get to choose what we bring into focus. What we plant in our garden. What we strip away from our past, even from our present, to create a better future. We need not forget all that has passed. By bringing it forth into our conscious realm, we can make sense of it, we can process it, we can try to rationalise the irrational. We can take control of ourselves. We can set ourselves free from our suffering, from our anger. We can purify from within, what has become tainted by ourselves and others. With time, we can cleanse and remove our impurities from within. Never fully. Sufficiently is good enough.
These white petals symbolise the purity of our soul. Purple, our compassion, our hope. Yellow, our positivity, emanating outwards. This flower, our beauty. Its growth, our growth. The blurred background represents our acceptance of what is, to place it behind us, to move forth from it. The stem symbolises our connection to ground, a linkage between our past, present and future, of better things to come. The upwards climb represents our struggle, our courage, our journey towards inner peace.
Forgive others. Forgive self. Ask for forgiveness.
