"The past is not dead; it is not even past." (William Faulkner) So quotes Wayne Teasdale, in "The Mystic Hours". Teasdale continue to explain, that reconciling the past "requires a willingness to heal, rather than forget. To heal is to become free of the hold of the past. Healing the past, and thus putting it finally aside, requires generosity from the two conflicting communities or individuals involved. It requires a generous spirit that seeks reconciliation and a building of mutual respect and trust."
