AS WE ARE


     It is our flaws and our errors and our human vulnerability that make us beautiful. When we acknowledge and accept our limitations with good humor and a sense of grace, then we are good company to be around. But if we pretend to be better than we are; if we pretend to be richer or smarter or more secure, then we are hard to take.
     Let's be easy in our skins and full of forgiveness and love, for ourselves as well as others. Let's learn to enjoy simple pleasures and be honest about who we are, with all of our weakness as well as our glory. Let's stop thinking and believing that we need to be more or less of anything and find a way to get comfortable simply to be as we are.

I am just right and completely whole. I don't have to pretend that I am anything other than I am.
