Forgive yourself---she told him

Short story

Once a wanderer met a healer, they sat by the fire

He talked about guilt

“Forgive yourself”---she told him; just let go—free yourself

You will not be able to progress on the spiritual path if you carry this burden. This Universe will give you a chance to make up in this life or beyond.

He got a lesson that it is equally important to forgive yourself as it is to forgive others.

He kept looking at the fire, his eyes moist—she kept smiling with her eyes.

That night destiny had met destiny

His destiny to free himself from a burden

Her destiny—to guide him to his destiny.
