you must be a person whose forgiveness matters.
Before you can have gratitude for your life,
you must believe that your life has value.

you have to believe that your future matters.
Before you can build positive habits of resolve and commitment,
before you can begin to live into the Japanese proverb,
"Fall seven times, stand up eight,"

and Honor toward, Spirit and all creation,
you must Honor yourself to feel worthy of that unity.
