Notes

 

Forgiveness 
 
Forgiveness is letting go 
of the pain 
and accepting what has happened, 
because it will not change.  

Forgiveness is dismissing 
the blame. 
Choices were made that  
caused the hurt; 
we each could have chosen 
differently, 
but we didn’t.  

Forgiveness is looking 
at the pain, 
learning the lessons 
it has produced, 
and understanding 
what we have learned.  

Forgiveness allows us to move on 
towards a better understanding 
of universal love 
and our true purpose.  

Forgiveness is knowing that love  
is the answer to all questions, 
and that we all 
are in some way connected.  

Forgiveness is starting over 
with the knowledge 
that we have gained. 
I forgive you, and I forgive myself. 
I hope you can do the s ame.
