I receive your “Ouch” with openness and curiosity.
I receive your “Oops” with acceptance and empathy.
I offer my “Ouch” with hope and trust.
I offer my “Oops” with humility and courage.
I release my “Ouch” with immeasurable faith.
I release my “Oops” with purpose.
I release your “Ouch” with promise.
I release your “Oops” with my eyes and heart open.
-Atena O. Danner, from Incantations for Rest
How do you practice making and receiving apologies?
Thank you!
