#parentingfail
The lesson I have failed to provide
that my daughter experiences
as her own failure.

#workfail
The delay I have caused
out of uncertainty and inexperience,
a failure multiplying frustration.

#healthfail
The body I have failed
in food, in exercise, in sleep,
and the guilt that circles like a vulture.

#professionalfail
The opportunities I have missed,
the ambitions I’ve allowed to cool,
the ladder I have failed to climb.

#spiritualfail
The love I have interrogated with fear
and buried under routines & chocolates,
soul walled, gated…and failing.

The sacrifice acceptable to God is a contrite spirit.
The position of confession this Lent
is #facepalm.
