Forgiveness

If you think I am the same person who posted yesterday’s blog, and/or the same person who began typing moments ago and just now posted … then obviously you believe in reincarnation.  Neither of us are who/what we were.  What we are now is energy taking and changing form, changing faster than the speed of light can be measured.

Forgiveness is the consequence of the embrace of a profound compassionate recognition that neither you nor I are the persons we were—a moment, a day, year or lifetime ago. Forgiveness, then, is a “letting go” of both the self AND the other in the present moment. Forgiveness is not something one “does,” but an embrace of  “being” amid interconnectedness.

Two anniversaries of note arrived in the mailbox today (4/10/22) Anne Lamott is 68 (1954 in San Francisco). And, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby was published in 1925, that’s 97 years ago today by Scribner & Sons.
