Strange thing happened to me today...

Lately, I've been kinda bitter, (Okay; really bitter.) about something that's been going on with a friend. I've felt a bit betrayed, a bit of frustration, a bit of deja vu, and this whole thing has hurt more than its worth. I wanted to give up on them, yell at them, block them out... I wanted to make them see what they're doing wrong to everyone around them.

I started listening to music, and on a whim, turned to one of my favourite songs, which happens to be 'Beauty of Grace' by Krystal Meyers... and I realised.... I've got to forgive them.

I picked some lilies to put in my room the other day, and they were looking extremely ragged by last night. I thought they were done for. As I realised I have to let this go... I looked down, and the shrivelled petals of the flower were on the ground. The flower, which had formed a new, fresh bud where the dead petals had been hanging, had started all over.

I have... no words for that.
