This seems to be more about why to forgive, rather than what
to forgive. I should forgive the things
I need to forgive because, in the big picture, the painful things happened
because of causes and conditions. Yes,
people did things that hurt me, and I still hurt some when I remember them, but
the other people involved were just as much, or almost as much, victims of circumstances
as I was. Forgiveness allows me to move
on, free of memories and pain and the idea that I need to do something about them.I will probably have to work on this for a while, but I hope that I will be able to begin a new year with this kind of freedom.
Reading note: As you've probably noticed by now, I'm laying out the stones in clock positions. And, just to let you know, I am putting all the stones back into the bag before I choose the stone for the next day. So repeated stones are a possibility, but we haven't had any yet.
Eighth Day, January 1, Teachers Day. The eighth day from his birth brought the circumcision and naming of Jesus, marking the beginning of his religious instruction. It’s time to be grateful for the spiritual, academic, and practical teachers that we have learned from throughout our lives. How can I honor my teachers and spiritual friends? How can I be an effective teacher or mentor?
I’ll read on this tomorrow.
