How much of my inability to forgive others can be tied up in my inability to forgive myself?
How much is a sense of wanting retributive justice, of the other “getting what they deserve,” is connected to my unresolved hurt and anger at the world’s wounds?
How can I center restorative justice and tzedek in this world by forgiving myself, by not punishing the mistakes , and by letting go of white cultures ideas of perfection? How can I meet myself where I am now “warts and all” and use that power to meet others too – where they are; in pain and hurt, in our grief and dirty rooms and six foot air hugs?
