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.
