imperfections

A quote from Catherine,
We must not be discouraged at our imperfections.

The other day I was reading a reflection about being perfect. I wrote a poem about it that I shall share today.

Perfection,
not that never-make-a-mistake
kind, no, the kind
that acknowledges
imperfection and
goes beyond its limits
to greater gifts.

A paradox; to be
human is to be
imperfect;
the best of the human condition,
a perfection that
cannot stand alone.
Only with others can
perfect humanness
become possible.

So don't stress out trying to be perfect. Instead try to be totally human and you will become perfect.
