Every now and then you get one right. You are full of sin. More sin than you care to face. More failed attempts at good than actual good. You can do nothing right most days. And you come to those moments where everything is set up just so and you can see that failed good materialize right before your eyes. And you know you have every right to pick up that failure and run with it.
But instead, you turn. And you find yourself at the end of it all actually having not failed. And that brief instant of recognition of the non-failure feels wonderful. You know that you are still a lost cause and that plenty of other failed goods loom before you, and you won't last five minutes really, before one of those failed goods is in your hip pocket. But I'll leave you alone and let you enjoy that brief instant.
By "you" I mean me, of course.
