"At the end of the day, the failure I find the hardest to live with is the one that I made because I lacked the courage to let love take me where it will. And this mistake cannot be corrected by trying harder. It requires that I surrender to that which is larger than myself, that I be willing to move ahead where I am afraid of making mistakes. It requires telling the truth about my worst failures and saying, when I have no faith that anyone or anything is listening, 'I don't know how to live with this, how to forgive myself. I cannot do this with my will. Help me."
