shedding
Memories retreating and past lives healing.
Where do the old wounds go?
The sorrow. The guilt. The shame.
Do they linger in the shadows or do they look for a new home?
Sorrow says, “I am unexpressed love.”
Guilt says, “I am unexpressed longing.”
Shame says, “I am unrealized connection and understanding.”
“We are not burdens. We are gifts.”
