In the heart of your heart
there is a kernel
of betrayal
the world is not
what you thought
it was
as your circle
of concern
grew larger
it became clear
things are not
working out
for most people
most of the time
and here
is the challenge:
Can you forgive
reality?
Richard Rohr talks about forgiving reality as the key to meekness. I heard on a podcast recently that Zion will not be brought about by a people who sin less and less, but rather a people who forgive more and more.
