REFLECTIONS © 2011

Sin is not to err,

For to err is part of the human experience,

It is in stumbling that the soul learns,

In error, we grow and can be reborn.

Sin is not acknowledging the mistake,

Denying the path that led us to fall,

Shutting our eyes to the painful truth,

And pretending that guilt doesn’t affect us at all.

The true failure lies in the refusal,

To face the mirror with courage,

For those who recognize and seek to amend,

Transform error into wise learning.

To err is human, but to own it is divine,

It is how we purify our destiny.
