The strangest thing happened to me today.
I was walking to the gym and I found a small, crumpled up note on the side of the road. I opened it up, and it was addressed to you. To you!
Here’s what it said:
It happened in the past. And it happened once. But in your memory, you’re letting it happen over and over again, each and every day. You can’t change that it happened, but you can change that it continues to happen to you.
It’s time to let it go, and no longer haunt yourself with shame, remorse and guilt.
And the truth is, it happened for a reason. Though it may be hard to understand that reason from where you sit in time and space, my vantage point allows for a clearer perspective. Learn the lesson being offered, and allow yourself the freedom to move forward with these simple but powerful words: “I am sorry. Please forgive me. I love you. I thank you.”
Love,
A friend
I don’t really know what it means. But since it was addressed to you, I think it may hold some meaning for you. Any ideas?
P.S. Don’t forget to join me tonight (Monday, April 18) at 9:00 PM ET for a LIVE show on BlogTV!

This is one of the best things I have read on the Internet in a while, and will most definitely be passing it along!

couldn’t help but link this on FB. How do such words of wisdom come from such a pretty young thing?
April 18, 2011 at 9:29 am
Definitely something I needed to hear. I’m writing this down and putting it on my board. You’re truly inspiring me to make something out of myself and take full advantage of my life.

I used to hand out cards or slips of paper “Thanks for the smile”

These are the words from the Ho’oponopono technique, a Hawaiian healing technique that cleans memories and allows you to grow and to not react to bad memories anymore, being them from this or past lives. It’s very powerful.

In addition to Marcos’ reply:

There you can find a bit more about these phrases:
* I love You
* I’m sorry
* Please forgive me
* Thank you
But it’s fantastic to find a sheet with these words on the floor and thanks for sharing it, daveywavey.

I only found the note! I’m just the messenger

I thing that everybody has something to forgive himself or herself. It’s just the question of consciousness. Also you… Aloud yourself to be yourself because there is always something that is in secret place in the dipest part of our heart.

Altough this may have helped me in the past, (who’s kidding who I know it would have.) This is a very inspiring note that you “found” and I know a few people that need this message.. may I share?
April 18, 2011 at 11:52 am
This is too lovely :’)
April 18, 2011 at 1:25 pm
these are such true words . and all i can say. to whom ever thought of them, spread them.
thankyou

How interesting…. Last night I was reading a book where it mentioned the same thing, to forgive oneself. How crazy, you find this letter and I read about it within a few hours of writing something similar in my journal! Wow!! I’m definitely walking down the right direction.
….Practice forgiveness and open the doors to happiness….
Love to all

OMG!!! I found a note last week….it definitly wasn’t to me and it is a little less deep then yours, but it said “the sex was great, thanks. C u next week”
It the most hilariously random thing to ever happen to me
April 18, 2011 at 7:57 pm
Wow, I needed that haha, like really.. I was recently told by the guy I like that he just “lost intrest in me” and ive been getting over it, but i cant help think why and things replay over in my head. This note meant a lot, Thanksyou

Today is the first day of Passover. Celebrating escaping slavery and oppression. So it could mean that that’s what they’re talking about.

I remember four years ago seeing my first one of your videos ‘hi,im davey wavey’ ‘oh yeqh and im gay, and by that i mean happy, and i like boys’ classic…

I just walked in the door from therapy. We were discussing two of the ‘black holes’ of my life. One, an abusive and mentally ill dad. The other, a very abusive relationship with a member of clergy. They sometimes interact like storm clouds and create a tempest in my heart. I am in AA and one of the things I learned is to make amends to the people I hurt but also to the people who hurt me for the hate I continue to feel towards them. Hate is like acid; it eats at you. I remember when I went through the process of ‘forgiving those who had trespassed against me’ and it was uplifting and probably what keeps me sober. I nominate Davey Wavey as ‘guru to the queers’.

You’re welcome. xo

Happy BDay-Tyler.
April 19, 2011 at 7:59 pm

As someone mentioned above these are sayings from the Hawaiian Hoʻoponopono technique. My cousin is a life coach and introduced me to this last year. I am so happy that you came across it and blogged about it! It is proof that there is more out there then alot of us choose to see…maybe even some stuff that can help us cope with alot of lifes stresses. Thanks again Davey, I really enjoy reading this everyday, it is something I look forward too!
