Once you have seen the truth
you must make the decision to let go
of the pain, anger, and resentment you have been holding on to.
This requires you to take action.

this will be a difficult step for you.
Taking action requires letting go of the very thing
you have been holding on to for so many years.

even if we are experiencing pain and suffering.

the weight of the world has been taken off your shoulders.

to put the past in the past where it belongs.
However, sometimes a simple symbolic act can help immeasurably
to grant ourselves freedom from the past.

yet so awe inspiring when we take a moment
