“The Lord is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger and abounding in
steadfast love.” Psalm 145:8
like a peregrine
falcon,
our anger can
swoop down
on another in an
instant,
but
yours is like a
turtle,
slowly plodding
along,
occasionally
moving its head,
until by the time
it reaches us,
all that is left
is your love
