The age-old discovery—
Forgiveness, forgiveness, forgiveness—
Is the only way
To real happiness.
– Sri Chinmoy
~
If we really want to love
we must learn how to forgive
~
If I cannot forgive myself
For all the blunders
That I have made
Over the years,
Then how can I proceed?
How can I ever
Dream perfection-dreams?
Move, I must, forward.
Fly, I must, upward.
Dive, I must, inward,
To be once more
What I truly am
And shall forever remain.
