For remaining silent, when a single voice would have made a difference,
we forgive ourselves and each other; we begin again in love.
For each time that our fears have made us rigid and inaccessible,
we forgive ourselves and each other; we begin again in love.
For each time that we have struck out in anger without just cause,
we forgive ourselves and each other; we begin again in love.
For each time our greed has blinded us to the needs of others,
we forgive ourselves and each other; we begin again in love.
For the selfishness that sets us apart and alone,
we forgive ourselves and each other; we begin again in love.
For falling short of the admonitions of the spirit,
we forgive ourselves and each other; we begin again in love.
For losing sight of our unity,
we forgive ourselves and each other; we begin again in love.
For these and for so many acts, both evident and subtle,
which have fueled the illusion of separateness,
we forgive ourselves and each other; we begin again in love.
