To live with forgiveness is to choose in each moment an active role in creating relationships, organizations, communities, and a world that works for everyone.
This earth is my sister: I love her daily grace, her silent daring, and how loved I am, how we admire this strength in each other, all that we have lost, all that we have suffered, all that we know: we are stunned by this beauty, and I do not forget: what she is to me, what I am to her.
