Today’s word is “peccable” ... pek-uh-buhl ... liable to sin or error. (Dictionary.com)
Better
We live peccable lives,
though we try to be the best,
or the smartest
or the most humble.
It seems we are doomed to
not measure up.
Too much of this, not enough of that.
Where is the place of equilibrium?
Where can we rest our restless souls?
Even when the answer is right
before us, we hesitate.
The bar is set too high ... what mortal
can overcome it?
Maybe it is in the trying and failing
and trying again that we gain
understanding.
Maybe acknowledging our failure
is how we begin to understand
the gift of grace.
