There is a murky darkness all around you and you feel as though your vision was impaired...blinded. You are standing on the edge of a cliff......you don't want to move for fear of falling over the edge of the cliff top and into the nothingness below. You are holding something firmly in your grasp...but somehow it slips and topples over the edge into the gloomy depths below...you instinctively dive for it ....just catching it with your fingers.....It is really heavy.....slippery...and very hard to hold...it digs and points into your skin...drawing blood....you feel pain...but don't let go....Stubbornly you cling to it with all your being.....you can feel it cutting through to your bone....but you don't let go.....It is mine...and I will not let it fall...I will not leave here without it....I will not let go....Then you sense movement behind you and a growing light.....Your vision adjusts and you see a baby crawling toward you...toward the cliff.....the babe is glowing with life....alive with wonder...and crawls closer to the cliff bringing the light with it....No...Stop...Look out...you scream....Get away from the edge....the child is but a few steps from it's demise....to save it you must let go....but you can't .....you can't....and then the light from the child falls upon you....and onto the thing in your hand.....you scream...it is a writhing mass of blackness....of blood....bile.....and jagged bone ....it is bad....it is not yours....it is not a part of you.....you let go ....flinging it into the abyss below...and dive for the child......picking it up in your arms....you hold it close.....you hold it to your heart.......and never let go.
And as you look into the innocent eyes before you...you realize what you had let go of ...what you had thrown into the darkness....what you had held onto ....blindly...for so long.......You have let go of your Hate.
