Thought of the Moment

Owning Our Mistakes

It is one thing to make a mistake, and quite another thing not to admit it. People will forgive mistakes, because mistakes are usually of the mind, mistakes of judgment. But people will not easily forgive the mistakes of the heart, the ill intention, the bad motives, the prideful justifying cover-up of the first mistake.

Healing Our Own Brokenness

To move away from all illusion that our children are maliciously intent on triggering us is an important step on the path of awakening.

Without having them to blame on any level, we are now forced to confront our inner lack and discover the reasons why it exists.
