Le Canigou

1/7/2024

There is forgiveness in the mountains,
In the craggy face
Where the ice of a broken heart melts
With each new spring,
Trickling through, down, down
Into the meadow
So the donkeys may graze,
bear food to the market,
and the toothless vendor may smile.

On walking in the foothills of Le Canigou at the outset of 2024.

Thank you for this glimpse of your magic moment. Forgiveness doesn't;t always come easily, and sometimes it resists coming at all, so we should treasure it wherever we may find it.

Thanks for reading and for your reflection, Eric. It was a magical moment. You're right that forgiveness doesn't come easily, whether of others or the self and magic is the right word to describe when one feels it.
