a little lighter in the loafers.

today i actually feel lighter. 
it's a strange truth that the spiritual, the psychological, the emotional...these things somehow affect us in a very physical way.  we carry our pain on our shoulders like oxen, every step a grim reminder of our failings and the failings of those around us. 
i don't know how it's possible, especially for someone as religiously jaded as i am or have been, but my burden has been lifted.  i am willingly yoked now, reining in my rebelliousness, and somehow this new load that i am committed to is lighter. 
it's something about forgiveness!  for ourselves and for others!  i think if we can figure out how to do it (or let ourselves be helped in doing it), it just might be the thing.  for moving on, and letting go.
