It’s hard talking about forgiving without also talking about forgetting.
Almost every movie, every book, every cliche bit of art talks about how it’s good to forgive, but never forget. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me, you know how it goes.
What if that’s wrong?
What if holding on tight to the story is what’s preventing you from healing? What if never forgetting and having the reminder of that weight is what’s bogging your whole life down?
We talk about blanket forgiveness a little today, and we talk about the power of just letting go of the whole damn story we carry after we’ve been hurt.
I also ask a question, and I hope you’ll answer it.
Give the video a watch, stick around to the end for a poetry reading.

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!
The official FIRST ever FIREKEEPERS Live Google Meeting/Zoom Signal Fire gathering has a date! Mark your calendars now, so we can all hang out and spend some quality time together. More details will come on what bit of technology we’re gonna use, but the date is:
Wednesday, August 19th, 6:30pm Mountain Time!
We figured this gives the best chance for people everywhere to attend. It’s 5:30 for Pacific so you on the West Coast should be home from work, and only 8:30pm on the East Coast, so not yet sleeping. For some International Folk this is gonna suck, and maybe not be do-able, so we’ll try to make the next one be a time that works better for you.
Now, onto the poem I read today for all you Firekeepers that keep this place burning. Starting next week, the poem reading will just be for Firekeepers and will be a little fun perk. :)
I love you all.
Be good.
