Three Sisters


Forgiveness has three sisters.

The first is named Grace.
She gives without being asked.

The second is named Charity.
She leaves stones unturned.

The third is named Hope.
She counts nothing as lost.

    Russian Theatre

    In Chekhov’s “Three Sisters,”
    Olga kept the family together
    By becoming a teacher and
    Resigning herself to celibacy;
    Instead of becoming
    A concert pianist,
    Sarcastic Masha returned to
    Her loveless marriage;
    Childlike Irina lost all her toys
    And her husband
    In a senseless duel.

    Each teaches the lessons of resignation
    And endurance.
