Oh Elsie, I am so touched! Thank you for contributing this haikai for Forgiving Fridays. You are reminding me of a workshop I led last year on making peace with ourselves, and how the very thing we judge is the key to making peace inside. You are amazing and so creative. I’ll share this post in my blog this Friday. Blessings to you, Elsie! 🙂 Love Debbie
