In a town I once visited ...
In a town I once visited, I had an experience that was very painful, and when my friends asked me what happened, I would tell them the story. But then I said to myself, "Enough already. It wasn't all bad; think of the wonderful people you met and all the good things that happened there too." So then when friends would ask, I would tell them the negative and the positive. But after a while, when I had done my forgiving and atoning and allowed my heart to heal, I found myself answering a query about that period of my life very simply: "It was a special time." The words just came out of my mouth; I didn't consciously realize I was about to say them. But at the deepest level, those words were true because only love exists. Just saying them gave comfort to my heart.
