My heart is finding a new level of healing and freedom. Pain, Evil, and wrong doing exsists in this world. To forgive and to cry for justice in one voice is not a contradiction. We forgive and let go of the past in order to be free to continue to love. We cry for justice in order to halt the perpetuation of Wrong doing. Dr. Martin Luther King understood this profoundly...he could forgive someone who stabed him and continue to call for justice on all fronts. King is known for what he did in public, but few pay attention to his spiritual disciplines -- what he did in private. I want to nurture the soul of compassionate leaders. What we do when no one is looking is key to the strength we carry out into the streets.
