“…forgive”

 

I carry old sins or at least I used to. Reminds me of something Bob Fass did for me. Bob was a dear college in my radio life. We were talking of the weird mistakes we’d cooked up in our lives. I said I didn’t know what to do with them Was tired of the guilt and shit dragging behind me. He thought a moment. Look at me and say: “…I forgive you. Mistakes are part of the journey. We forgive each other. So I forgive your mistakes." He said everyone not just clergy had this power. We can forgive ourselves and everyone else. This is why I loved him so much. I miss him.
