we live ourselves into a new way of thinking.

Thought for the Day

What we bring, finally, into the new day, every day, //

Is ourselves. And that's all we need /

To start.  That's everything we require to keep going. /

Without radical and rule-breaking forgiveness—received

and given—there will be no reconstruction of anything.

. . . Without forgiveness, there will be no future. . . .
