Cellular Path of Forgiveness

This is my imaginary view of what’s happening on a cellular level as we begin and move through the process of forgiveness towards another. To me it happens in stages and layers. A little bit at a time. Each stage builds upon the prior stage. And sometimes we think we have forgiven but then we realize we haven’t and we have to loop back and work on it some more. Like scaffolding. Other times, we’re pretty decided about what we will forgive about the trespass against us. “I’ll forgive this but I can’t forgive that. Not yet at least. And maybe never.” And, “I know I will definitely forgive you at some point but I can’t right now. I’m working on it though.” Or, “I’ve forgiven you for a lot already but there are still wounds and there is still so much damage and I am still making my way through the path of forgiveness.” With it all there’s always a little bit of yellow light pushing through. (When I say “we” I mean “me.”)
