Still Thinking about Forgiveness

Perhaps not the most eloquent but found myself saying something like this to a patient today:

“As you release your tenacious hold on your conviction that the love you desire and long for so deeply can only come from your mother,father, sister, brother, wife, husband, child..., you can begin to open yourself up to the reality that those things can come to you from other sources. As long as you hold tightly to those as the only sources of love and acceptance available to you, you will remain closed to all other possibilities.”
