Forgiveness is the answer to the child's dream of a miracle by which what is broken is made whole again what is soiled is made clean again.

The first pages of memory are like the old family Bible. The first leaves are wholly faded and somewhat soiled with handling. But when we turn further and come to the chapters where Adam and Eve were banished from Paradise then all begins to grow clear and legible.

My death taking the light from my eyes gives back to the day the purity which they soiled.
