Forgiveness Is Not Revenge

 

Forgiveness is Serious Business

A Poem about Reset: Be Still

 

At this time of year, I felt it was necessary to share this work of prose. I find that in days of uncertainty, chaos, and the feeling of having lost our way, it is good to know that a ‘reset’ of our thoughts, priorities and spirit is always a good option. I hope you find time to rest, fill your mind and day with reflection—and be still, if only for a moment. Enjoy!

Finding Truth

 

In keeping with February’s theme of TRUTH, I thought I would share this poem, written in free verse and from my book Looking In from Outside: Poetry & Prose, which speaks of finding that elusive thing called 

truth in information.
