March 16, 2020. It’s so easy to forget, it’s so easy to get pissed off, and it’s so easy to choose to suffer about being right, rather than to choose to be happy. Sometimes when we do the forgiveness meditation, it can give us a lot of information, more can be revealed, more awareness, and sometimes stuff comes up that we weren’t even aware of, resentments that we’re holding, things we’re feelings guilty about, old stuff we thought we were done with, rearises. Whatever your experience is, I have a deep encouragement to persevere, as a central part of our human life.

“Forgiveness is the name of love practiced among people who love poorly. The hard truth is that all of us love poorly. We need to forgive and be forgiven every day, every hour—unceasingly. That is the great work of love among the fellowship of the weak that is the human family.”

– Henry Nouwen, a famous Christian mystic
