On this episode, Jon John discusses the topic of Forgiveness.
He opens the episode with an excerpt of a Mahalia Jackson interview where she stresses the importance of kindness. Mahalia Jackson should be regarded as a saint comparable to Mother Teresa. Jon John then sings a little before sharing the details of his Saturday from dining at Steam House Lounge, attending the Inman Park Festival, and seeing ZZ Taylor perform atop of his van. While out he purchased a book titled, Black Folk Could Fly. This book contains selected writings by author Randal Kenan. Randal was a Black Man, A Gay Man, An Intellectual, and a Southerner known for his groundbreaking fiction. Black Folk Could Fly is a collection of his nonfiction essays that reveal facets of Kenan's Life and Work. Kenan transitioned to the realm of the ancestors in 2020.
The second half of the episode opens with the recording of ZZ Taylor Jon John took at Inman Park. He then shares The Forgiveness Ritual found in The Mastery of Self by Don Miguel Ruiz Jr. "Forgiveness is the final step of healing a wound".
"Forgiveness is not about forgetting. It is about letting go of another person's throat...Forgiveness does not create a relationship. Unless people speak the truth about what they have done and change their mind and behavior, a relationship of trust is not possible, " Bell Hooks.
The Mastery of Self can purchased at https://www.miguelruiz.com/books. Follow Miguel Ruiz Jr on Twitter at DMiguelRuizJr. And be on the lookout for his latest book, The Mastery of Life.
