PERFECTION

entry picture

Feeling really bad

very sad

Wish I could hold

my tongue

Leave judgement

to the man above

---

Trying to learn how

to balance this all

Too much on my plate

don't want to hate

---

When to talk

and when not

Is a talent I need

to hone in

Prefection is a goal

not a reality

Is anyone perfect?

---

Time for chocolate

and a good movie...

Beautiful Lynn.

Perhaps you're trying too hard to makes sense of it all??
Just guessing.

I always believe that some of the happiest people are the ones who accept the imperfections in others.

Enjoy your journey.

Thank you so much. I appreciate the guidance. Feels like I get on the wrong path sometimes with curious eyes wondering how the heck did I get here!

The furry fella is a Norfolk terrier...a London boy. He LOVES to watch TV and must be in my lap when I am on the computer. He is amazingly fun...

I think Hazel said it correctly very rarely do "we" get it right mostly its just about crisis management from when we don't, perfection is something a lot of us mere mortals aren't privy too (in my opinion/experience at least). I can relate to this quite a lot, I like it and I also like the fuzzy chappie sat watching telly. Nice write, thank you.

Lynn, I really think the only perfection of life is death. Until that point all is just activity - bubbles on the surface - and I think we are meant to embrace the 'imperfections' as the true nature of life. Getting it 'right' is being curious about and open to the wiggles on the path.
