This week, I offer a traditional forgiveness meditation with the words of Jack Kornfield wrapped around some more contemporary repeated statements from my teacher, Jonathan Foust. The meditation explores forgiveness in three directions. Forgiveness from others, Forgiveness to ourself and forgiveness to others. I hope one or all of these directions resonate with you. Remember that forgiveness is a process. And forgiveness is for you. Theologician Louis Smedes wrote "Forgiving does not erase the bitter past. A healed memory is not a deleted memory. Instead, forgiving what we cannot forget creates a new way to remember. We change the memory of our past into a hope for our future."
