Cause and Effect

Ignoscere divinum est, humanum autem rarissimum

I forgive the faults of ignorance
and I hope my ignorant faults are forgiven.

I forget the mistakes of blindness
and I ask for my blind mistakes to be forgotten.

I let slip of the contempt of deafness and
I beg that my deaf contempt slips away.

May the redemption that I give away return to me,
as the chance to mend what I have broken
and soothe whom I have hurt.
