I just got back from another spiritual gathering. The last one before Christmas. My heartfelt thanks to all who were there, and who enriched my life because of their energy and input.

All the way driving home, something from the meeting stuck in my brain:

Compassion: "I am sorry."

Forgiveness: "Forgive me."

Gratitude: "Thank you."

Love: "I love you."

I feel that there is a deep, compelling, and powerful wisdom that underlies these simple statements.

This is a ritual that can change your life, and the lives of those around you. It is a mantra I hope to remember and incorporate deeply into my life.
