Sixth Friday in Lent

"They were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking ahead of them;" Mark 10:32a

like a dog easily distracted
by a squirrel in another's yard,
like a little kid who can turn
the last ten minutes before
bedtime into the greatest 
production of procrastination ever,
like a committee charged with
developing an action plan 
which no one cares for,
we find all sorts of excuses
for letting you get closer
to what awaits us down the road.
