"We can't be perfect...


but we can be whole."


That's what Melodee wrote in an email she sent to me earlier today.
Well said. Perfectly timed. A true word spoken to a woman in need of truth and wisdom and encouragement to release the urge for perfection.
Taken on as a new prayer and mantra and perhaps even a future tattoo.
Used as inspiration for a colorful journal page.
And a new mess on the dining room table.




Thanks, Melodee.
And thanks to you too, Jen, for your reminder of all that I deserve.

    Ack! You're right....I LOVE IT!!!

    Count me in for the tattoo :-)

    And, yes, I adored that post from Jen's blog, too.

    Wish I could be sitting, creating, meditating at that table with you.

    wholeness is always more lovely than perfection...more approachable, more pure; complete.
    perfection i think is saying that there is nothing lacking, wholeness is honoring that despite cracks/brokenness/tainted remnants, that there is still completeness.
    and that's the invitation dear love that i want to join you in~

Sorry, friends. But a handful of spammers have forced me to begin modifying comments. A few bad apples make it hard on everyone else in the barrel... or something like that.
