Forgiveness

Forgiveness, like trust and the salvation of heroes slowly getting back up, Forgiveness, of Other and others and self, Forgiveness, like trust, and resurrected freedom, is not instant, like a package of oatmeal or grits, because growing and regrowing trust is a process, like raising flowers, blossoming in their and our own best time for resilient appreciation, regeneration, restoring beauty and peace Forgiveness, like salvation of bruised souls, isn't all or nothing, except in those climatic moments of anger, when it is nothing, and except in those climatic moments of joy, when it is all When we are fully engaged in trusting this place investing this time within win/win EarthTribe mundane sacramental life Just right for getting back up What's left for giving Other yet another chance to not screw us up.
