One of the first thresholds on the path of liberation is the deepening of forgiveness.
It is a quiet expansion into the inner landscape of loving kindness — not as sentiment, but as practice. Forgiveness softens the road beneath our feet, making it walkable again.
It releases us from the hardened grip of resentments born from colliding desires — within relationships, yes, but also within the conflicted terrain of the self.
It is the great unwinding, the gentle resolution of opposites. As Stephen Levine wrote, it is the beginning of freedom.

In the quiet between heartbeats a whisper calls you home, you are not broken you are becoming. These threads of silence and sound are letters from the threshold, offerings from the edge of stillness. Nigel TEA AND ZEN - MAIN LIBRARY
