sometimes i have dreams of big enormous full moons
the moon is so large that it can't even be seen in its entirety
because it extends far below the earth's horizon.
i stand in its orangey light
and look closely at all its imperfections.....
the craters and dips.
and i think
this is perfect in its imperfection.
and why is it
that i can see that in other things
and other people,

but not in myself?

Perfect in its imperfection...beautiful...as are you.

i think that is difficult for most people - we're taught to love others despite imperfections but to be as near perfect as we can be. weird conflicts it creates huh?

This poem makes me think of people I see day in and day out and how much they are full of life and doing something wonderful..and then I start to wonder, well, am I doing anything, really.

Hope you had a great Labor day weekend.

Good question. Do you think this problem is universal or do some societies not struggle with it?
