Forgiving

One of the greatest gifts we can each give ourselves is to forgive another. Yesterday I totally forgave Dara for her transgression. And it is I who feels so much better.

Unfortunately, I don't know how to forget or even if I will be able to again trust her with sweet, naïve innocence that I had. But I will try.

She wants to give our relationship another shot. This time she wants an exclusive monogamous relationship. I know first hand that taking other lovers causes pain -- even if it is an open relationship and fully disclosed. Strangely, the idea of monogamy sounds delightful right now.

I am just not sure whether I can get there with Dara.
