You seem, to me, to be wise beyond your years. And perhaps that is because of the depression. That out of that came a hard won triumph over that which depletes us and makes us judge ourselves harshly. <br /><br />I've been told that weavers in the Middle East always create an imperfect in their rugs because only Allah is perfect. And I so appreciate your idea that in imperfection comes the perfection of serenity and peace. Thank you for your thoughts. They are so reflective and evocative.
