5:00AM. Coffee.
Dark house.
Me, the keyboard, and the impossible topic: mercy and forgiveness.
Let’s start with the hardest question:
Are there unforgivable sins?
On earth, yes.
Some actions permanently sever the bond.
Some violations make reconciliation impossible.
Some things break trust so deeply the relationship never returns.
That’s real.
That’s human.
That’s protection.
But below that question lives a deeper one:
If something feels unforgivable… what does that mean for the one who was hurt?
Do you carry the rage forever because the act can’t be erased?
Or does forgiveness mean something else entirely?
What if forgiveness isn’t forgetting?
What if it isn’t healing?
What if it isn’t “moving on”?
What if forgiveness is simply refusing to carry the poison any longer?
Sip coffee.
Sit with it.
As a kid I burned ants with a magnifying glass and shot gophers with my .22.
Was that unforgivable?
Or was it just a boy learning what power is?
I’m not that boy anymore.
Growth is its own redemption.
Another sip.
Another question:
Is forgiveness selfish?
Maybe.
Maybe that’s the point.
Maybe it’s the moment you say,
“I don’t want to haul this weight through my life anymore.”
And can it go even further?
Can you offer help—mercy—to someone who doesn’t deserve it?
Why does Frodo spare Gollum?
Not because Gollum is good.
Not because he earned anything.
But because mercy keeps the future open.
Because mercy says,
“I will not become the thing that wounded me.”
Wrestle, wrestle, wrestle.
Early mornings.
Quiet conversations in the hidden chambers of the heart.
Soon I’ll rise and move my body.
Embodiment is always the balm—
the reminder that no matter how heavy the soul gets,
I’m still here.
Still breathing.
Still choosing who I will be.
