I am forgiveness

Nothing moves me more or touches me so deeply as the power of forgiveness. It is the source of my inner-strength and enduring inspiration. Forgiveness is the fiber of my being.

I have no heros- that is, I do not draw from the typical idea of what a hero is. I have the deepest respect and honor those among us who rise everyday and greet what ever challenges they face with grace and dignity. They are many, they are unsung, they do not create controversy, they are not interested in being defined by what challenges they face, only by how they face them. It is not false modesty or humility that characterizes their actions, but simply a desire to bring value and gratitude to the world they live in.

Remembering

I suppose a place to begin is to remake remembering; so that I am not defined by my memories of what transpired in the past. We remember with such bias and emotion as to not really create an accurate portrayal of what happened. What if we could really remember and not make it mean anything other than what it was? What if we did not inherit memories, but gained an understanding of the experiences- ours and others?
