Bob Plath courageously used to take ACIM into San Quentin. I am so glad this organization is going, and I sadly heard that Bob passed last year. I hope that was false news? For - Giving, ron

Thank you for this work.

I am no longer sure I know what forgiveness is. I "get" the intellectual concept but it occurs to me that forgiveness must be a practice, not unlike yoga.

With practice I might learn to notice, question, and rethink the beliefs that dictate my twisted physical and emotional attitudes. I might even learn to breathe more efficiently enabling myself to inhale illumination so that with every breath the dysfunction of my belief system(s) becomes clearer to me. So that my soul's purpose can guide me along the path to my truth which truly has nothing to do with any belief system, real or imagined.

Until now I have thought of forgiveness as something to pull out of a bag of "fixes" when someone does something to me (or for me). But I think I should live forgiveness, not that I know how to. Yet.

The Good-Natured Girls

Two good little children, named Mary and Ann,
Both happily live, as good girls always can;
And though they are not either sullen or mute,
They seldom or never are heard to dispute.

If one wants a thing that the other would like
Well, what do they do? Must they quarrel and strike?
No, each is so willing to give up her own,
That such disagreements are there never known.

If one of them happens to have something nice,
Directly she offers her sister a slice;
And never, like some greedy children, would try
To eat in a corner with nobody by!

When papa or mamma has a job to be done;
These good little children immediately run;
Nor dispute whether this or the other should go,
They would be ashamed to behave themselves so!

Whatever occurs, in their work or their play,
They are willing to yield, and give up their own way:
Then now let us try their example to mind,
And always, like them, be obliging and kind.

- Jane Taylor
