Hector Black

9 March 2014: Yesterday, while tackling some spring cleaning, I heard Hector Black's amazing story on The Moth's podcast. Here's the short version: Black tells the story of forgiving the man who killed his daughter. But that summary does no justice to hearing his voice and his moving words. I found myself stopped in my tracks, amazed by this man's beautiful soul. I had heard parts of this story before, on the Radiolab podcast last fall, but it is still just as powerful. People like Hector Black remind of us the amazing potential for goodness and forgiveness in the world, and that's something for which to be quite grateful.
