The Adventure of Imperfection

Saturday, March 20th, 2010

We are forgetful creatures, yet our forgetfulness is not by accident, but by design.

For what would be the point to life if we had all the answers? If there were no mistakes or surprises? If we already knew it all?

There would be no wondrous journey of discover, and so much of the beauty we find in the world would not exist.

Like when you hear an exquisite piece of music for the first time and it just seems to transcend all Earthly bounds – taking you to a wondrous and beautiful place you hadn’t even imagined – and how no subsequent listening can ever quite compare to that first time when you were completely ignorant.

Newness, freshness, innocence, is all part of what brings great love and joy and beauty to life.

It’s the unexpected adventure of imperfection which actually represents the perfect life.

We are all one.

This does not mean we are all the same. We are not. We are all unique, and every moment of every life is unique, and that is where the beauty of life springs from – the magnificence and wonder of life. It is how life works and fits together.

For what would a song be if there was just one note?

What would a garden be if there was just one flower?

What would the world be if there was just one job? One enjoyment? One love?

What would a human be if there was just one emotion?

What would life be if there was just one experience?

All of it, and all of us, are necessary to create the beauty of the patchwork of life.

For what would a painting be if there was just one colour? Just one stroke?

Therefore celebrate the diversity of life – of nature, of the earth, of humanity, of our selves.

Celebrate the diversity that supports our own uniqueness – that highlights and brings out its beauty so that it may shine.

For only at night may we see the stars.

Only with sunshine and rain can there be a rainbow.

Only with the changing of the seasons and the weather – night and day, sun and rain, warm and cold – may we live.

Change is neither good nor bad, right nor wrong. Change is simply what allows life to exist.

So celebrate your uniqueness!

Revel in each others.

See that which is different and CHEER!

See that which changes and be grateful.

For this is life, and all of life is beautiful.

PERFECTION

It is our imperfections that make us perfect

Perfection

Today (and every day) is the day to celebrate the perfection of you!
