may I be

This evening a friend called to apologize. I am amazed at the power of three little words: I am sorry. There is such healing and power in those three words. In the forgiveness that followed and the bitterness that disappeared. The wound is still there, but at least it's not festering. It's just waiting for time and experience to change it's shape. I think it takes a wise, humble, yet strong person to seek forgiveness. May I be a person like that.
