the price of forgiveness

Poem #130 for Tavi Lenard

 

Humility

 

Replacing pride with compassion

 

Enduring criticism for the sake of peace

 

Knowing that being correct is not enough

 

Wholly stepping outside of self

in order to view the world as another does

 

Summoning strength through the pain of insults

 

Sacrificing stubborn beliefs

so that a better person might emerge

 

…but it all begins with humility
