The two Gretels were exploring the forest
Hansel was at home
sending up flares

Sometimes one Gretel got afraid,
She said to the other Gretel,
"I think I'm afraid"
"Of course we are", Gretel replied.

sometimes the other Gretel whispered,
with a shiver,
"You think we should turn back?"
To which her sister Gretel answered,
"We can't. We forgot the bedcrumbs"

so they went forward
because
they simply couldn't imagine the way back.

and eventually, they found the gingerbread House,
and the Witch, who was really, they discovered,
the Great Good Mother Goddess,
and they all lived happily ever afterwards

The Moral of this story is:
Those who would have the whole loaf,
let alone the house
had better throw away their breadcrumbs.

I am finding myself more forgiveness and in peace and acceptance of the years spent in clutching of my own bread crumbs.

Vonda,

Stay with the Forgiveness -- It may have many faces that evolve in your unfoldment.

Ultimately, you may discover an Eternal "House of Belonging" at the end of the trail of bread crumbs!

In Service

I am experiencing much unfoldment. It's stated in the human world when people say "my plate is full with passion". At this time it is more of a "wholly full" instead of being always on the maze with continued trampling the same ground just in different situations.
Thanks for your Words of Wisdom and your Service to my evolvement. VLL
