Day 6 Lent

Too Busy to Notice


        Forgiveness is the name of love practiced among people who love poorly.
        The hard truth is that all of us love poorly.
                    -- Henri Nouwen

  time continues
to move, not waiting
for a place to stop
to say words that
heal, words that offer
love, arms that encircle
Too busy to notice
that what's past
can't be found again
only forgiven
