AN AFFIRMATION
Nothing worth having
is ever born out of spite.
Nothing worth doing
is ever guided by revenge.
Nothing worth saying
comes from a place of
ill will
towards one’s universe,
one’s relations,
one’s circumstances
or one’s self.
I shall no longer entertain
these notions of Ill Will.
I shall no longer harbor
that which can no longer serve me.
But I shall thank you, Ill Will,
for you have led me to this place
of profound realization.
I am grateful
for your service,
and thus release
your energy
back to the universe
to be recycled
into the purity
of positive expression.
You have shown me
the potential of healing,
the temporality of divisiveness,
the absoluteness of wholeness,
the motivation
for ALL that moves me forward.
I bear you no ill will, Ill Will.
May you eternally rest in peace.
Thank you.
