"When the accusers heard this, they slipped away one by one, beginning with the oldest, until only Jesus was left in the middle of the crowd with the woman. Then Jesus stood up again and said to the woman, “Where are your accusers? Didn’t even one of them condemn you?”  “No, Lord,” she said. And Jesus said, “Neither do I. Go and sin no more.” ~Jn. 8:9-11 (NLT)

Your PAST.

The voices who want to remind you of it are everywhere you around you and inside your head.  They use it to hold you back, to tell you that you are defined by what they want you to remember. They want you to be crippled by shortcomings and moments of weakness. They want you to never forget what you did to hurt yourself and others. After all, how can you muster the audacity to hold your head up when YOU did "all those things"? 

They must be something special to have put up with you all this time....

It's time to let go of your past. Time to stop using it as an excuse for why you CAN'T. Time to start LIVING.

It's time to "GO"...

Kindred Spirits

Memories and Wondering

For far too long a time

All your substance yielded

Was the subsistence 

For my mind

Two separate lives living

Across finite time and space

Reading past treasured words

Scribed blue ink giving chase

To memories and dreams

Of summer night's 

Innocence of things

That bring smiles to light

Now words born in the mind

Coming fast with the speed of light

Carrying time and distance

Guarded reservation's resistance

Destroyed by kinship of sight

They fall on eyes and land in thought

And heart leaps with memories

That run uncaught

At the sound of an unheard voice

And it's familiar refrain

Hundreds of miles

A lifetime of years

A thousand faded smiles

A million drying tears

Could not, have not

Untied the bonds that 

Hold the most Kindred of Spirits
