I Like a Good Quote

"Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it." ~Mark Twain

I heard this quote recently while attending a holistic healing senimar. The focus was primarily on forgiving self and releasing fear--even the fear of being crushed by something or someone.

Soft breezes to all.

Love,
~Wind

Forgiveness blesses the forgiver more than the forgiven.
