This is about a woman who had an abortion, right?

Even though you are so strongly against it, you managed to write it with so much regard to this person...a really intelligent write, MaryAnne. I hope it makes young women think twice.

God bless and a hug,

5/5 Ingrid

RE:

"forgiveness intangible."

may I suggest:

"Forgiveness...
giving up all hope of a better past..."

-Sister Prejean

just sayin'

RE the 'forgiveness' quote:
I've been corrected and that is fine...
Whoever said it first...
be it Carl Jung or Lily Tomlin...
It still rings a big bell on the
consciousness train...
and forgiving ourselves is, indeed, among the most complex of journeys...

I found this to be very real and intriguing, it spoke of sadness and loss and yet renewal. To someone who paints like myself, it held meaning, the paint to canvas can be very healing. an excellent write.
