  • I'm working on forgiving myself for some not-so-hot choices I've made in my life. I neglected two people I loved dearly.

Having made that choice, I find the grief in my heart finally abating. Now I teach the need to forgive yourself and others relentlessly.

  • There is a deep sense in which we are all ghost towns. We are all haunted by the memory of those we love, those with whom we feel we have unfinished business. While they may no longer be with us, a faint aroma of their presence remains, a presence that haunts us until we make our peace with them and let them go.

We construct an image of ourselves that seeks to shield us from a confrontation with our ghosts. Hence we often encounter them only late at night, in the corridors of our dreams.

I thought of how many people have had siblings or friends or children or lovers disappear from their lives before precious words of clemency or absolution could be passed along.
