The Weight of Enlightenment

The Weight of Enlightenment

 

I am almost too ashamed

to admit that

it took me years to realise,

the warmest

glow comes from forgiving

   and from giving ..

Still, they think they stand

on firmer and on

higher ground today than we

   ever did and still do ..

Oh’ my word, how wrong are

   

each of those fools ..

As an older adult male I have to admit these words ring true. It's taken me years to finally realize what you've so wisely stated in these words:

"the warmest glow comes from forgiving
and from giving .."

I wish I could have been more wise to these words when I was a teenager. CLE
