Acts of Forgiveness - What Humans Can Learn from Non-Human Animals

Animals rescued from abuse, neglect, or exploitation have every reason to avoid humans the rest of their lives, but they demonstrate their ability to forgive (though not forget) again and again.

Joanna Lucas is a gifted and beautiful writer who devotes much of her time and talent to the Peaceful Prairie Sanctuary in Colorado (www.peacefulprairie.org). Joanna knows all the animals at the sanctuary intimately and writes about them on the Peaceful Prairie blog. In today's episode, I read Joanna's essay called Portrait of Marcie... A Beautiful Soul. Marcie, and so many animals who have no reason to ever trust a human again, has much to teach us about forgiveness.
