"Forgiveness, the first step and binding obligation of non-violence, hangs by a silver cord of love, high in the vault of the cosmos.
Slender and fine that thread, and woven of four sacred actions of the soul -- mnemon, anamnesis, amnesia, and amnasthakai...
Memnon -- mindfulness, that which knows.
Anamnesis -- not-not-remembering, the re-call and recitation of what is true, a form of prayer.
Amnesia -- not-remembering, the letting go of what does not serve...
Amnasthakai -- amnesty, purposely not recalling and reciting, not bringing up again what is past...
By these deep and sacred actions of the soul do the possibilities of forgiveness hang...
Tonight, breathe forgiveness...
Tonight, breathe forgiveness...
Breathe it in for all that you bear against yourself...
Breathe it out, for all that you bear against another...
This is the spiritual practice by which a soul can move toward its intentions to the path of non-violence."
I offer to all those whom I have hurt in word, deed, thought or omission my deepest regret and sorrow, and ask for your forgiveness...
And I offer love and forgiveness to all those who have injured me in any way...
Seriously!
NAMASTE
