Forgiveness is not a door453Please respect copyright.PENANAxlROMTRds1
we can knock on until it opens.453Please respect copyright.PENANA0sWqbSkhz0
It is a seed that belongs453Please respect copyright.PENANAUyM9vmjdGv
only to the soil of the hurt one’s heart,453Please respect copyright.PENANAmJFFLG9CAu
and sometimes the ground stays barren.
To wound is to scatter glass across a road.453Please respect copyright.PENANAEWSlhOVO5x
We do not decide whether another453Please respect copyright.PENANAcAQK367vT6
will sweep it clear,453Please respect copyright.PENANAe2oWRUwD9a
or let our memory bleed their footsteps.
But there is something deeper453Please respect copyright.PENANAolzZC3mkXV
than absolution:453Please respect copyright.PENANAizPWVykKbV
the courage to carry our own debris.453Please respect copyright.PENANAhMA7W8X7VP
To mend with hands still scarred,453Please respect copyright.PENANAGwnoWpG3Jf
to build not because we are pardoned,453Please respect copyright.PENANATcUr9rzKnt
but because the world453Please respect copyright.PENANABaJPaommaZ
still deserves gentleness.
Some wounds will close453Please respect copyright.PENANAaNvM1j2Gmd
like dusk folding over a quiet field.453Please respect copyright.PENANAaVQGCXiCzo
Some will stay raw,453Please respect copyright.PENANAnrBc0ZDKhz
like salt pressed into the sea.453Please respect copyright.PENANA93m7saCw4z
We cannot control which.
What we can choose453Please respect copyright.PENANAA0Zdjqu8R5
is to live as if tomorrow matters,453Please respect copyright.PENANAn9JGO2W2Fr
to make our weight into something453Please respect copyright.PENANABpQQHbMjZB
that steadies instead of breaks.
Forgiveness may never come.453Please respect copyright.PENANA7jIMbPVThI
But responsibility—453Please respect copyright.PENANA4EVUNtVDFt
quiet, unglamorous, enduring—453Please respect copyright.PENANAqu4qCIsePC
can still turn us toward the light
