The Essence Of Forgiveness

April 24, 2020

A woman in her late 40s standing alone at the edge of a still lake at first light, back to camera, exhaling visibly into cool morning air, shoulders loose. Soft mist on the water, pale rose and silver sky. Photo-realistic, cinematic, unhurried. No other figures. Her posture reads as a quiet decision already made.
Finding Peace—Cassia

Here’s a quote that perfectly encapsulates the idea I’ve been striving to express for a decade:

“Today I decided to forgive you.
Not because you apologized, or
because you acknowledged the pain
that you caused me, but because
My soul deserves peace.” – Najwa Zebian

“My soul deserves peace.” Repeat that with me. What an exceptionally beautiful truth.

This is the essence of forgiveness.
