Silence can contain within it all the music that can be played, for all of it emerges from silence. A word is a note. Silence is a symphony.
~ from IN SPEECH AND SILENCE by David J. Wolpe
When two persons want reconciliation through forgiveness, the whole cosmos is involved, and the energy springing from forgiveness is released for other forms of service. Forgiveness makes possible a deeper communion than that which existed before. One can begin to see another reason why forgiveness is important. Its importance is on the scale of evolution and it springs from the Creator of evolution. It invariably releases love, and love is the energy of creation.
