To Err Is Human, To Forgive Is

If We Believe That Murder Is Wrong And Not Admissible In Our Society, Then It Has To Be Wrong For Everyone, Not Just Individuals But Governments As Well.

I Saw The Suffering And I Let Myself Feel It… I Saw The Injustice And Was Compelled To Do Something About It. I Changed From Being A Nun Who Only Prayed For The Suffering World To A Woman With My Sleeves Rolled Up, Living My Prayer.

Writing Is Like Praying, Because You Stop All Other Activities, Descend Into Silence, And Listen Patiently To The Depths Of Your Soul, Waiting For True Words To Come. When They Do, You Thank God Because You Know The Words Are A Gift, And You Write Them Down As Honestly And Cleanly As You Can.

I Tell Myself That I Had Simply Better Accept The Fact That The Death Penalty Is Here To Stay In Our Society, At Least For A While, And There Is Nothing I Can Do About It.
