To carry a grudge is like being stung to death by one bee. - William H. Walton

“Sincere forgiveness isn't colored with expectations that the other person apologize or change. 
Don't worry whether or not they finally understand you. 
Love them and release them. 
Life feeds back truth to people in its own way and time.” 
-Sara Paddison


as you may remember, i stumbled upon this a few months ago....


and then this one in another neighborhood...



and this one on a snowy day, venturing out for sunday brunch...


and this one...


(and a few more in random places that i failed to capture ...)

suffice to say, when words fail me, these pictures will have to testify to what i'm trying to learn 
(and let go all at the same time) these days. 

i'm a thinker, a dweller, an inward facing debater....

i'm constantly tangling & untangling a yarn of emotion & grace & wisdom & fear in a drastic effort to understand who i am and how my soul somehow dwells not only in this body, but in every living thing around me...and how holding on to the past only drowns out the exquisite beauty & joy & wonder that life is so willingly pouring out.
