Love, Heal and Forgive

Recently I took a break from my day and went to walk the Mercy Sister's labyrinth in Burlingame. In walking a labyrinth one take the journey towards the center in hopes to let go of the "stuff" of the mind and heart that weighs us down and in my case keeps me from being present. My summer has been filled to the brim, so much so, as I feel I am racing from one person to the next and not fully present to anyone. During my walk on this maze with meandering back and forth, I was able to clear my head and as a result I experienced a peaceful calm. I entered into the center where, in this case, a beautiful rock formation sits. I placed my hands on the rock, it was warm and suddenly almost instantaneously my mind was fully conscious to love, to heal and to forgive. It could mean anything to anyone however for me it is gentle reminder that each day and moment we can love, heal and forgive ourselves and one another. I only hope that I can keep this presence of love, healing and forgiveness present to all I encounter today.
