..and work to banish them with illumination and forgiveness. Your
willingness to wrestle your demons will cause your angels to sing.
Use the pain as fuel, as a reminder of your strength."

Anger makes you smaller, while forgiveness forces you to grow beyond what you were.

You've sharpened your pencil and you're ready to start. Now, will you use it to draw the path to forgiveness? or as a weapon to stab the offenders' eyes out? The choice is up to you.
Mission24: Revenge/Forgiveness

Let me begin by saying that this is not a religious tract. Although this is about a Christian holiday, this is also not about Christianity per se. It’s a spiritual meditation on my recent journey to Taxco, Mexico.
This Easter I traveled to the colonial town of Taxco, Mexico to relax and document the Semana Santa or Holy Week procession festivities. One can witness the processions as they wind through ancient cobblestone streets. The occasion is devotional and festive. Children are dressed as angels, followed by the regular folks, Penitentes and more faithful shouldering beautifully carved religious statues.
While in Cacalotenango, during a Good Friday dramatization put on by local indigenous peoples, I overheard the artistic director of the re-enactment say to the participant/actors: "Don't 'materialize' the art that you are participating in......let yourself become a medium for spirit." As an artist, the director's injunction made me stop and think..............
That these indigenous people could celebrate in this manner many hundreds of years after their civilization and culture were torn asunder by greedy and muderous prostylizers got me thinking.
As I walked the streets of Cacoletenango and Taxco and then working on these images, the word that kept coming to mind was.....”forgiveness.” Forgivenes is a fundamentally human choice that chooses peace beyond the emotional drama of what "justice" may look like. It's beyond logic, beyond keeping scores..... What for some might be a difficult existential undertaking..... Especially for people like myself who are keenly atuned to human rights...

According to Wikipedia, of all things, forgiveness is the mental, emotional and/or spiritual process of ceasing to feel resentment, indignation or anger against another person for a perceived offence, difference or mistake, or ceasing to demand punishment or restitution[1].
This definition, however, is subject to much philosophical critique. Forgiveness may be considered simply in terms of the person who forgives, in terms of the person forgiven and/or in terms of the relationship between the forgiver and the person forgiven. In some contexts, it may be granted without any expectation of compensation, and without any response on the part of the offender (for example, one may forgive a person who is dead). In practical terms, it may be necessary for the offender to offer some form of acknowledgement, apology, and/or restitution, or even just ask for forgiveness, in order for the wronged person to believe they are able to forgive.[1]
Most world religions include teachings on the nature of forgiveness, and many of these teachings provide an underlying basis for many varying modern day traditions and practices of forgiveness. However, throughout the ages, philosophers have studied forgiveness apart from religion. In addition, as in other areas of human inquiry, science is beginning to question religious concepts of forgiveness.
Psychology, sociology and medicine are among the scientific disciplines researching foregiveness or aspects of foregiveness. Instances of teachings on forgiveness such as the parable of the Prodigal Son[2] and Mahatma Gandhi's forgiveness of his assassin as he lay dying, are well known instances of such teachings and practices of forgiveness. Some religious doctrines or philosophies place greater emphasis on the need for humans to find some sort of divine forgiveness for their own shortcomings, others place greater emphasis on the need for humans to practice forgiveness between one another, yet others make little or no distinction between human and/or divine forgiveness.

"If I cannot forgive myself
For all the blunders
That I have made
Over the years,
Then how can I proceed?
How can I ever
Dream perfection-dreams?
Move, I must, forward.
Fly, I must, upward.
Dive, I must, inward,
To be once more
What I truly am
And shall forever remain."
~Sri Chinmoy
Hope to be able to catch up soon. Have a beautiful and peaceful week :)
The pain and anguish that suffering brings are not in themselves things to be desired. But when we endure such suffering, good personal qualities can be enhanced and happiness produced. Well, I hope that this proves to be true in my case because my poor heart sure does suffer a lot.
Forgive me my sins, O Lord; forgive me the sins of my youth and the sins of mine age, the sins of my soul and the sins of my body, my secret and my whispering sins, the sins I have done to please myself and the sins I have done to please others. Forgive those sins which I know, and the sins which I know not; forgive them, O Lord, forgive them all of Thy great goodness. Amen

Summer is already close and grow dandelions (I love). The moment in which you take them and blow them. Incredible. I ask forgiveness for not having uploaded photo yesterday, the photo shoot went wrong and I had no "plan B".

Ya esta cerca el verano y van creciendo los dientes de león (me encantan). El momento en el que los coges y los soplas. Increíble.

I accidentally backed into Barney (not realizing he was behind me) and slightly kicked him. Although he didn't cry out, I felt horrible and picked him up to tell him I was sorry. He gently licked my face, wagging his little tail the whole time and all was forgiven, all was forgotten.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if we humans could be so gracious?
''Forgiveness is a funny thing. It warms the heart and cools the sting.''

took a trip to Niklaus’ stores in-world. | also snapped the statue and played around with the Sun settings a bit.
Hung out with some people from Instagram tonight. This is one of my shots from our photo walk. I like those people.
This is a shot of a ‘Pantocratōr’ icon dating from the 17th century. The wooden icon is exhibited at the Byzantine Museum in Ioannina, Greece. Pantocrator means “Absolute and Universal Ruler and Dominus”, or Omnipotent, or Almighty, or Who has infinite and unlimited Power, or Who rules all (in Greek: “Παντοκράτωρ”). The icon depicts our Lord Jesus Christ blessing with His right hand and holding the Gospel with His left hand so that the following verse be displayed:
“Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it” (Mark 8: 34–35, KJV)
As Lent approaches, let us humbly ask for forgiveness from whomever we might have harmed. And let us keep our mind constantly focused on His Face whilst fasting and praying, because He assured us that: “I am the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14:6, KJV).
