Forgive
for Trevor Hall
Forgive everything that has ever happened
life is everything we can imagine
laid out in patterns of pain and passion
you cannot control it
so keep your compassion
There are no accidents
there are no factions
there is no us or them
nothing to borrow or lend
no enemy or friend
and only forgiveness can make that happen
The only battle worth the fight
from the Rwandan genocide
to the Seven Sisters forgiving Orion for chasing them across the skies every night
forgiveness
is for giving
so give yourself this gift from time to time
And let all of your mistakes
become all of your greatest gifts
in disguise
