Life is flawed. we travel a journey that is marked by errors as we try and understand the reasons for our existence and in our efforts to find and share love. we all need to be generous in grace and forgiveness towards each other because we all harbour insecurities, fears, doubts and perceptions from which we respond.  we all need to hold on to hope and to hold on to one another, even in times of disagreement and strife, even, sometimes, at the great cost of maybe more pain for a time. for none of us is perfect, we all make mistakes and cause hurt. we all need forgiveness and encouragement to face ourselves and grow. only love can heal us and free us. only love can hold us.
