Day 32 - "apology" by enfleshed https://padlet.com/enflesehd/yxrkj5jxh0ipi1w8 enfleshed - poetry through lent en-us 2021-02-18 22:01:07 UTC 2021-04-08 13:19:41 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/enflesehd/yxrkj5jxh0ipi1w8/wish/1352366067 An apology is an acknowledgement of the reality of pain - mine, or someone else’s. It is a grieving.

Any encounter with reality is an encounter with truth is an encounter with God.]]> 2021-03-25 12:04:44 UTC https://padlet.com/enflesehd/yxrkj5jxh0ipi1w8/wish/1352366067 https://padlet.com/enflesehd/yxrkj5jxh0ipi1w8/wish/1352952526 An apology is a lost art. We offer excuses, justifications, explanations, but not apologies. 
Why aren’t we allowed to be wrong? And learn? And repent? And change? 
I’m sorry. I was wrong. I apologize.

Why is it so necessary?

Love: "Never having
To say you're sorry?" Gosh no!
"Always getting to!"

Regretting
Agonising
Lamenting 
Repenting 
Confessing
APOLOGY 
Forgiveness 
Being forgiven
Being absolved
Accepting forgiveness 
Forgiving oneself 
And perfect peace.

Too often the list is incomplete.

We wonder why...

Unseen as the dots on a  failed colorblindness test.

Atypical. Not ill. No one's fault. But the damage is like a ruined city. 

One I can't go back to.

To make any meeting shorter, make it about apologies we have made

If it still feels too long, make it about apologies we owe

And I refuse to accept my own apology
Because I question its sincerity

The words I cannot get out
Are trapped in pain and betrayal.
Who should apologize? I dither and doubt.

I have only this inadequate "sorry".
