Forgiveness: Phase One | Dilruba Ahmed — My Pastoral Ponderings #Poem #Poetry #Forgiveness

The joy of forgiveness by Library of Congress is licensed under CC-CC0 1.0

Once again, My Pastoral Ponderings offers a wonderful poem that I’ve never read before and that ministers life to my soul as part of his Poem of the Week series. Forgiveness of others and ourselves is such a powerful, freeing gift, and yet, one we struggle mightily to give freely. Such a rich post and poem for a late January! Be sure to read both James Laurence’s insightful comments and the poem itself. And for the fullest effect, listen to the poem as read by Pádraig Ó Tuama on OnBeing.org!

    I really appreciated this one, i can appreciate the words and the sonority while reading it out load, for me that doesn’t speak or understand english perfectly.

      It was new to me as well but felt wonderfully universal, so I am glad it connected with you.

      I’m glad it connected with you! For me it was accessible and felt like anyone could relate to the message and examples.
