Carrying resentment and suffering is a heavy load that only hurts ourselves and not our offenders. Anger and fear are powerful energies that help us survive dangerous moments, but are not meant to last forever. When the drama quiets, it is time to begin the process of letting go.

In mindful presence, Lori Furbush Never think of pain or danger or enemies a moment longer than is necessary to fight them.
