There is a shared belief

that when something

or someone is at an ending

we need closure

and that to have closure

means to never have to

think about, delve into,

or revisit that ending

ever again.

Closure

is not

a sealing off

of an ending

forever

but

a way to move

through difficulty,

to pause,

to refocus

on one’s healing,

and center being.

Endings, past hurts, and traumas

will re-cycle themselves into our

lives;

the cycle of blessing a person,

situation, or thing and setting it free

is never ending.
