I came to believe in a God who was merciful and forgiving,
but not forgetful.
And I have no desire to forget the past.
My memories no longer fill me with shame and remorse.
My whole story is a sort of divine mystery to me.
I don't know how an intelligent human being
ever could have got into such a mess,
and the more firmly established in sanity I become,
the more amazed I am that I ever got out of the mess.
We are a product of our past, not a prisoner of it.
