Understanding this quote
The speaker describes forgiveness as a kind of spiritual transcendence: freeing the body, voice, and breath from the marks left by abusers. The words present forgiveness not as excusing what happened, but as removing its lasting imprint from the self. Forgiveness becomes a way of no longer carrying those marks in one’s physical presence and expression.
