Forgiveness is not an action in response to something big. It's not a saintly ritual kept on the top shelf until its needed. There's no threshold of hurt or offense above which forgiveness is necessary and below which forgiveness is unimportant.

No, forgiveness is a way of life, every day, breathing forgiveness for each hour you are awake.
Its a constant releasing of expectations that we hold over each other, and expectations of how we should be treated.
It's an intentional release of social rights that we're taught so well.
Forgiveness isn't the sequel to apology, the most transforming forgiveness in fact precedes apology.
Forgiveness is not forgetting, but an accepting, a death of some sorts, followed by an awakening and a moving on.
It's the realisation of humanity and the choice to love anyway.
Forgiveness is not feeling okay about what happened, but more of a declaration of freedom from the past, an intentional move toward the future when what you speak with your mouth will be true of what you feel in your heart.
