Pondering the anniversary of 9/11, I came across this, 'as best I am able at this time.'
"... In forgiving the person who committed it, you separate the terrible act from the flawed human being behind it. By your own noble response of forgiving, you honor and give meaning to the dead and to those who must live with great loss. Trust yourself to open to forgiveness. Believe that you can redeem horrible acts by your own vulnerability. Let go of anything that separates you from other human beings. In so doing you honor all those lost. Your act of forgiveness holds their story in its highest possible glory. And you honor life itself; There could be no greater legacy.
If my words have caused you harm in any form, I ask your forgiveness. To those whose actions prompted the writing of these words, I offer my forgiveness as best I am able at this time."
