Forgiveness Has a Fragrance

Understanding, acceptance, forgiveness ~ these are necessary for reconciling our differences. Hate is like acid thrown on our spirit. Even grudges leave their mark.

Reconciliation 6

Reconciliation 7

Reconciliation 8

Oscar Wilde was humourous about forgiveness. He counseled, “Always forgive your enemies – nothing annoys them so much.” But Rumi and Mark Twain went to the heart of the matter:

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and right doing, there is a field. I will meet you there. ……..~ Rumi Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it. …..~ Mark Twain
