Many of us have read about and talked about forgiveness, and we understand intellectually why it might benefit us to let go of anger toward others. But we hold on anyway.

When you make peace with yourself, the world will mirror back that same level of peace.

Unforgiveness is the poison you drink every day hoping that the other person will die.

Whatever we refuse to recognize about ourselves has a way of rearing its head and making itself known when we least expect it.

I have my books and my poetry to protect me
