Mirror, Mirror on the Wall

We all bear responsibility. It's too simple, too easy to assume it's always the other. To own one's part in this play, to wipe away the scenes that don't fit into our understanding of the ending is to blind oneself to reality.

It always takes two. I said, you said. I did. You did.

Forgiveness means wading across a crevasse—
Forgiveness includes forgiving the other and forgiving yourself—

But first one needs to dig deep and unearth the words said or unsaid, the actions done or undone.

To release the past and move on means looking in the mirror and responding to the image.
