There’s nothing easy about forgiveness, which makes sense of the old saying, “To err is human, but to forgive is divine.” I could even argue that forgiveness is foolish and that accountability, repentance and repair are more important pursuits. If you’ve ever struggled to forgive yourself, you know what I mean. But when Maya Angelou says “Forgiveness is the wisdom that comes from growing through pain rather than getting trapped in it,” I remember the rewards of this spiritual practice, which is our theme in November. 

What do you know about forgiveness? Let’s share our wisdom with one another on November 1.  I hope to see you there!
