I challenge anyone to do a better job of being you than you do
Maintaining grace amidst incongruities, complexities, and the insults of life
Is worthy of praise
Mistakes, regrets, challenges—
We all have them
We are all
Veritable ripples on the pond
Manifestations of transience and imperfection
Creation is much more interesting than perfection would allow
There are infinite causes for suffering
But so too are there causes for joy
The beauty is in the shape of your dance
The strokes on your canvas
The timbre of your melody
The generosity of your love—
The most fragrant, vibrant wildflowers will grow
When a slope is left to its own devices
When you release yourself from the expectation of perfection
Your most beautiful version of yourself can emerge
