It seems we need someone to know us as we are--with all we have done--and forgive us. We need to tell. We need to be whole in someone's sight: Know this about me, and yet love me. Please. ...for...others it seems there must be a person to redeem us to ourselves. It isn't enough, apparently, to know oneself. To forgive oneself in secret. ↗

Forgive me, Lord, if ever I should wrap myself in pharisiac robes when I see another fall In no way am I greater because of another’s weakness. At the most it only turns the eyes of the crowd away from my own frailty. Few of us would ever think of hurting someone physically but too many times we have used the power of "talk" to kill. Here, Lord, take these stones I hold. ↗
