“We tend to think this world is about us. But our story, in the expanse of history, is nothing but a vignette, a small picture with blurred edges, a brief journal entry. Life is really about another story. When we can begin to see the commonality in our species, when we acknowledge that we are all broken yet redeemed for a higher purpose, when we get that, we forgive. As my father has reminded me often, the ground is level at the foot of the cross.”
