She writes about horrible things, but with such a deft touch that you don't want to look away. And then, yes, she makes it better. She doesn't fix the past, but she scales down hope to human size.Kathleen Bradeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06347913255760493335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-58816812266593171922011-10-18T08:19:29.602-04:002011-10-18T08:19:29.602-04:00Great post, Kathleen -

I agree that it's wise to forgive but not to forget, since so much of forgiveness is about freeing ourselves but it doesn't mean we have to be dumb. <br /><br />GarceGarceushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160407485298015371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-30635122647885188112011-10-17T09:35:30.755-04:002011-10-17T09:35:30.755-04:00Craig - *blushes* thank you.Craig - *blushes* thank you.Kathleen Bradeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06347913255760493335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-8053657060198943262011-10-17T07:24:58.806-04:002011-10-17T07:24:58.806-04:00Damn!
