"When life knocks you to your knees, realize you are in the perfect position for prayer."


It must be the most humbling of things,
to have faith, and know that perfection will
never be for one as me, without wings,
without a halo, with mere human skill.
I can think of nothing more comforting:
a promise of inferiority.
Reaching up and falling short, but knowing
that I am weak and always will be.
A small gem, eternally foregoing,
forever present, forever true.
With our failure he is always showing
his vow to us, not broken hitherto.
And I hold this fact with such great love:
that I will never be quite good enough.
