It would be really nice if those who committed wrongdoings toward me would come forward and acknowledge it and also speak to the truth of my non reactivity and compassion toward them in that process, however I understand that it is also difficult to meet one’s true self in the mirror and likely it is too much to ask.

I also ask myself Lori why do you feel you need that, it wont change anything that occurred, that is in the past. I learned in this contemplation- healing process that the greater need and reward for me is that in the end- I have no regrets, and have been provided peace in my life, after having found my Way.
