Humanness

God
forgive us
that we have imagined true humanness,
after the Enlightenment model,
to mean being successful,
having it all together,
knowing all the answers,
never making mistakes,
striding through the world as though we
owned
it

(a prayer of N. T. Wright, from The Challenge of Jesus, p. 193; photo via everystockphoto.com).
