Forgiveness is deciding to lay down the pain someone else has caused me.
It is an act of love -- both for me and for the other person. And also for the planet, since every act of forgiveness removes a little pain from the world.
I grew up in Christian fundamentalism, went to hell, came back, became a Presbyterian then a Buddhist Presbyterian, and now I'm a profane Presbyterian Zen Taoist -- not that I'm into labels or anything. Here's what I've learned so far: The more you know, the more you know you don't know.

Forgiveness is like Love. We need more of it on this planet.

Thanks for adding to the conversation.

If I
puncture your skin,
and you depart bloodied,
unbowed, unsoothed, how can I
be cleansed?
Treacle
Stickier than a
Buffon of cotton candy,
Your red hair teases.
It’s nice to know that someone
Cares enough to share a wad.
