No Woman No Cry
Feelings of guilt and shame can get in the way of me feeling that I'm worthy of what I want and experiencing goodness and pleasure after a traumatic blow. It keeps me in a trap of this is all my fault and I am worthy of reliving the pain because the lie says that I am. It keeps me from being kind and gracious to myself and welcoming love when it appears. It's like mud that stays put after the rain. And a mark after a sore that has long gone. It is a marker of the past and speaks not to the present. I can know these things and it takes work to embrace leaving it behind because it doesn't serve me. I am grateful for those emotions, they show me that I have some remorse and instead of allowing them to render me motionless, propel me into a better human being, and more loving gentle woman.
