Forgiveness is not about forgetting. It is about letting go of another person's throat.

Because you continue to inhabit and believe your metaphors, you cannot see what is true.

Lies are a little fortress; inside them you can feel safe and powerful. Through your little fortress of lies you try to run your life and manipulate others. But the fortress needs walls, so you build some. These are the justifications for your lies. You know, like you are doing this to protect someone you love, to keep them from feeling pain. Whatever works, just so you feel okay about the lies.

You don't play a game or color a picture with a child to show your superiority. Rather, you choose to limit yourself so as to facilitate and honor that relationship.

Paradigms power perceptions, perceptions power emotions.

Even though you can't finally grasp me, guess what? I still want to be known.

Emotions talked to you before you had words, so listen to them ... they are often more honest than the mind's remarkable ability to self deceive.
