"Love is an act of endless forgiveness, a tender look which becomes a habit" ~Peter Ustinov
Few steps to the upper level of the cloisters and you can view the garden in the center which is laid out in a simple manner but with pleasant aesthetics. Looking through the windows around the garden it is hard to tell there were those grand arches that hide behind these walls #Canon #Travel #Toledo
Forgiveness is a door in your heart that must be opened from the inside for happiness and peace of mind to enter.
Forgiveness is man's deepest need and highest achievement. (Horace Bushnell)
To forgive is God like, and one of the greatest uses of our free will.
The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. (Mahatma Ghandi)
Forgiveness is the price of Happiness. (Mark Pilbeam, Hellsgeriatric)
Forgiveness is freedom. (Tony Dailo, forurglory)
The glory of Christianity is to conquer by forgiveness. (William Blake)
Unforgiveness is the burning of the bridge we must cross ourselves.
One heart is not connected to another through harmony alone. They are, instead, linked deeply through their wounds. Pain linked to pain, fragility to fragility. There is no silence without a cry of grief, no forgiveness without bloodshed, no acceptance without a passage through acute loss. That is what lies at the root of true harmony.
Haruki Murakami ~ Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki

dear God make me an instrument of your peace...
“We are not held back by the love we didn't receive in the past, but by the love we're not extending in the present.”

The strangest thing happened to me as I was preparing to compose my sunset shot.
From the middle of the field I saw this man walking from afar towards a covered area, I guess where people shelter from the rain. As the sun went down I gathered my camera gear and went to my car, closed the door and started driving away, but I stopped; I had to know what he was doing there in the dark with no cars in site, just mine. He told me, “This is where I sleep”. I said it is so cold and windy, he said “it will be ok, I am used to” He said he had made some mistakes in life and now he is just paying for them. Homeless at 59 years of age with his only friend “the sunset” and praying he can see “the sunrise” again. So, I gave him what I had, not much… As I drove away, I started weeping I couldn't even see the road. I had to ask God to forgive me, because I have taken so many things for granted, and there are so many people without even a rock to lay their heads down. The sad thing about it is that I don’t even remember his name :'(
So this photo is for you my friend, sleep well.
I feel like I’ve wronged you,
Forgiveness is all I could ask for
For all that I’ve put you through
I’m sorry
Like a tangled web
We’ve weaved ourselves together
Please don’ let go
Life without you would be intolerable

"In Hebrew, forgiveness is called mé'hila, a word whose root is that of me'hol, which means "a circle".
Life is meant to be a circle of all our experiences and relationships in a harmonious whole.
When someone hurts us, the circle is broken. Forgiveness is the means by which we repair this fracture.
It is not only a matter of forgiving the person who has hurt us, but also forgiving us, forgiving G-d, forgiving life itself with all its strangeness - and often cruel - random.
To forgive is to let go and build the confidence necessary for a healthy and positive development.
It is declaring that you will no longer be a prisoner of the past, a victim of circumstances; that you will not perpetuate negative life patterns through reproach and anger; that you will instead access the strength and love that G-d gives you every day and every moment to realize the unique purpose for which you, and only you, have been created.
Forgiveness requires effort. But in the first place, it requires a connection with G-d, the one who dispenses life.
When you remember that your birth is the way G-d declares that you are important, that your existence is vital, irreplaceable, and essential to the perfection of His creation, then you can rise beyond the sufferings that others inflicted on you and find the love and strength to forgive them as well as yourself.
When you forgive, the circle is again whole.
When you forgive, you have taken control of your life, you have ceased to be a victim."
~ Lubavitch Rebbe
Forgiveness is the key that unlocks the door of resentment and the handcuffs of hate. It is a power that breaks the chains of bitterness and the shackles of selfishness.

I don't know who chopped all the forest down on Rannoch Moor or why, but I'd quite happily give them a good kicking for it. Barren roadside wasteland - only saving grace is at least there's enough mycorrhizal fungi for it to regrow, if it's left alone.
I'm not sure what the point in striving to make aesthetically pleasing art is, in the face of such destruction.
"There is only one perpetrator of evil on the planet: human unconsciousness. That realization is true forgiveness.
With forgiveness, your victim identity dissolves, and your true power emerges – the power of presence. Instead of blaiming the darkness, you bring in the light." ~Eckhart Tolle

Thanks.
as much as life is filled with happiness...will also be moments of sadness and conflicts...but what makes life more beautiful...is of humble forgiveness...
Better to ask forgiveness than permission
Muammar Muhammad Abu Minyar al-Gaddafi[7] (Arabic: معمر محمد أبو منيار القذافي) (June 1942[nb 1] – 20 October 2011), commonly known as Muammar Gaddafi /ˈmoʊ.əmɑr ɡəˈdɑːfi/ (Arabic: مُعَمَّر القَذَّافِي Muʿammar al-Qaḏḏāfī audio (help·info)) or Colonel Gaddafi, was a Libyan politician and political theorist. He served as the ruler of the Libyan Arab Republic from 1969 to 1977 and then the "Brother Leader" of the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya from 1977 to 2011. Politically an Arab nationalist, he formulated his own ideology, known as Third Universal Theory, with industry and business being nationalized under state ownership. He later came to embrace Pan-Africanism, and served as Chairperson of the African Union (AU) from 2009 to 2010.
Born the son of an impoverished Bedouin goatherd, Gaddafi became involved in Arab nationalist politics while at school in Sabha, subsequently enrolling in the Royal Military Academy, Benghazi. Founding a revolutionary group within the ranks of the Libyan military, in 1969 he seized power from King Idris in a bloodless coup. Becoming leader of the governing Revolutionary Command Council (RCC), he dissolved the monarchy and proclaimed the Libyan Arab Republic. Ruling by decree, he implemented measures to remove foreign imperialist influence from Libya, and strengthened ties to other Arab nationalist governments. Intent on pushing Libya toward socialism, he nationalized the country's oil industry and used the increased revenues to bolster the military, implement social programs to improve housing and healthcare, and fund revolutionary groups across the world. In 1973 he announced the start of a "Popular Revolution" in Libya with the formation of General People's Committees (GPCs), a system of direct democracy, but retained personal control over major decisions. He outlined his Third Universal Theory that year, publishing these ideas in a political tract, The Green Book.
In 1977, he dissolved the Republic and announced the creation of the Jamahiriya, officially adopting a symbolic role within the country's governance structure. Throughout Libya, Revolutionary Committees were formed to accompany the GPCs, with Gaddafi as their leader; utilizing violence to suppress counter-revolutionary elements, Gaddafi later admitted that they had caused excessive problems. Overseeing unsuccessful border conflicts with Egypt and Chad, his support for foreign militants led to Libya being labelled an "international pariah", with a particularly hostile relationship developing with the United States and United Kingdom. From 1991, Gaddafi initiated moves to improve relations with former enemies, a policy that Libya pursued for two decades. In February 2011, following revolutions in neighboring Egypt and Tunisia, an anti-Gaddafist uprising led by the rebel National Transitional Council (NTC) broke out, resulting in the Libyan civil war. A NATO-led coalition intervened militarily on the side of the NTC, resulting in the downfall of the government. Gaddafi himself retreated to Sirte, but was captured and killed by NTC fighters.
Gaddafi is a controversial and highly divisive world figure, being lauded as a champion of anti-imperialism and both Arab and African nationalism by his supporters, but his critics have accused him of being a dictator and autocrat whose authoritarian administration has overseen multiple human rights abuses both at home and abroad.
Part 1 of my Self-love series: Forgiveness.
For my fellow Christians out there: did you know that the Bible talks a lot about forgiveness of other people but actually doesn’t speak a lot on SELF forgiveness. Yet it’s one of the most important forms of forgiveness. However there is a great verse in Philippians 3 that says something like “forgive the past and move on” (of course a very rough translation into my own words but that’s the feeling I would like to imagine it to have.)
For my other peeps who are struggling with self forgiveness it’s definitely not an easy task. I think one of my own faults is rationalizing or justifying bad things I’ve done in the past. Instead of owning up to the bad things I’ve done sometimes I just bury it hoping that somehow it will just go away. But that’s not love... that’s denial. Part of loving yourself is doing the hardest things you wouldn’t do for anyone else. And yes forgiveness is one of those. But also asking for forgiveness is one of the hardest things to do. Asking yourself for forgiveness is an even more difficult task. One of the greatest forms of self love is taking responsibility for the things you do, fixing the bad things and then moving on. Part of the reasons why I suffer so hard with depression is I bury and run away from problems I should face head on and as I grow in my art and just in life in general I’ve realized one of the best ways to find peace and love within yourself is to face these problems and then forgive yourself. Not just saying “shit happens” and rolling along but learning from the bad you’ve done and truly realizing that “wow, I did a bad thing but that doesn’t make me a bad person.” I live with shame/guilt everyday and I’m sure everyone does too, but let’s maybe put that shame and guilt aside for one minute and realize that we are not bad people but just people who have done bad things. Let’s forgive ourselves today and let’s live happy, peace-filled lives. Hm? Too much? Haha ok do what ya want. 😘
Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it. - Mark Twain
