"Grief comes to you all at once, so you think it will be over all at once.
  But it is your guest for a lifetime."

"Forgiveness makes whole both the forgiven and the forgiver."
In forgiving those who have wronged us, we forgive ourselves for our wrongs of the past.
Someone who forgives others, forgives himself too."

That's a prayer I want to keep saying.
Let me forgive, others and myself.
 Amen.

"When we forgive we wipe the slate clean.  We choose to live not in remembrance of the past, but in the present."

 In the "city of the shining jewel,"
 we only look with heart
 and as Epictetus wrote, the universe is but one great city, full of
beloved ones, divine and human by nature, endeared to each other.
I see you in this great city, this universe,
in human life, and in divine life,
you strengthen your bond to me
each day, moment by moment.
and when I see each person I meet with heart
I feel your love, and I travel to the city of the shining jewel.
