"imperfect union" - that's how true relationships are - nice set of senryus:) forgiveness means acceptance without complaint:)

I have never known perfection. Independent personalities necessitate the need for forgiveness and acceptance of others for who they are. Thank you for your kind comment Jo.

There is an elegance to your words, very honest, very intimately felt. Forgiveness really is acceptance..of what is.. as is..right now. Your words paint this humbling of oneself, beautifully and with great care.:-) A lovely Senryu..delightful to read..a definite favourite and 7+ my best to you in the contest. blessings, lynn

We write from personal experience and emotions. Quite often the stories are fictitious (only the writer knows for sure), but the emotions always come through. Hi Lynn, thank you for your always insightful comment.
