The pause before the climb. My eyes fly open and I continue with my journey—but then something starts to happen. Lingering, right now in this very moment, is a feeling of doubt.

How Do You Know It’s Time to Let Go?

Notes Toward a Politics of Forgiveness.

via on May 18, 2013

Ultimately, forgiveness means letting go of this world, a darkened, fractured glass through which we see love only dimly.
