As I turned the page in my journal to ponder "the healing exercise," a practice that I think is ultimately about love, I found this quotation by Marge Piercy ("The Moon is Always Female") -- "Learning to love differently is hard, love with the hands wide open, love with the doors banging on their hinges, the cupboard unlocked . . . " The forgiveness practice and the healing exercise are helping me learn to love myself, the world and its people with my heart unlocked and my hands wide open. They move me into the world and remove me from center all at the same time.
