I want the privilege of guiding the arrows of my children and giving them the exhortations that can shoot them into the high place.
A personal offense is like a scratch on a phonograph record. I couldn't move my thoughts beyond my pain. It kept repeating, as if I were stuck within its grooves. There was only one way to play beyond it. I had to forgive them, so my heart could take its form again.
A disease and its treatment can be a series of humiliations, a chisel for humility.
