"We are familiar with the guarded
     glance of guilt" 
The expressed face of shame
     around floating eyes that avoid contact
Guilt is the acceptance of another's projections
     as no one can make us guilty
Guilt is a boulder from which
     we cannot move to mountaintops
Guilt, like fear, angst, anger, and regret
     is a calling from the Soul
It's the Soul begging
     to be in alignment
Behind every emotion is a need
     for healing - embrace it!
Only then will we be able
     to see from mountaintops
