Love and Forgiveness

Love and Forgiveness

Two of the most powerful and difficult things. I was looking for a reference from the movie Moulin Rouge and actually surfed my way into my own blog with THIS post from 2003. I still get choked up thinking about that scene from the movie: that very well acted moment of profound relief Satine expresses when she knows she is being forgiven.

Sigh. Every moment is an opportunity to love and develop a genuine interest in the "others" of our life. Escaping ourselves. Breaking that barrier of self. Becoming FREE to love.

Create in me a clean heart, O God,
And renew a steadfast spirit within me
