You said: 'Maybe we, like the flower, are beautiful and complete--each of us--in spite of our imperfections.' - and this is beautifully said too. Taking your advice, as I always tend to just jump into bed, play my Sudoku while waiting for my hubby to go sleep, and then thinking how am I going to tell him politely not to snore because he usually follows sleep like a rock before me, lol, kidding aside, good advice Lynda and will do, thanks, Anna :)myonlyphotohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07324578791902437827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2090919024696057090.post-83968318646733475942008-02-10T12:25:00.001-07:002008-02-10T12:25:00.001-07:00Sparky, Ah, yes, we all need to be soothed.

I confess that I am not a flower person, but this one is absolutely ravishing :D!<BR/><BR/>"Maybe we, like the flower, are beautiful and complete -- each of us -- in spite of our imperfections." - how true, my friend; how true! I usually tell people "Within your imperfections you are perfect" (one of my mottos) :).<BR/><BR/>Aaaah, I meditate everyday! I believe to have come across my personal beauty a long time ago (I started meditating when I was 17); and that is why I do not have self-esteem issues I think...meditation unfolds the beauty, the goodness in you (when done with discipline, and accompanied with other life disciplines) :)!<BR/><BR/>I hope everything is going well with your show :D!<BR/><BR/>CheersMax Coutinhohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12588149349270422294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2090919024696057090.post-58042825464987488572008-02-08T07:28:00.000-07:002008-02-08T07:28:00.000-07:00What a sweet kiss from the flower faeries!

I think there was a faintly sweet smell in the greenhouse, but that could have been more of a musty and sun-warmed earth smell.Lynda Lehmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10914824862008453219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2090919024696057090.post-62017786346486020872008-02-06T18:42:00.000-07:002008-02-06T18:42:00.000-07:00Bob, thank you for coming in out of the cold and a...Bob, thank you for coming in out of the cold and away from the night sky long enough to read our posts! lol...<BR/><BR/>I admire your passion! :)Lynda Lehmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10914824862008453219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2090919024696057090.post-11662557637180978932008-02-06T18:41:00.000-07:002008-02-06T18:41:00.000-07:00Julie, thank you very much!

If it were not for our idiosyncracies and imperfections we wouldn't be individuals--we'd be more like clones of each other, and that would be boring. <BR/><BR/>Which brings up the idea of free will. How could we have free will if we were all alike, or all "perfect"? Nature is full of variation and diversity, and our imperfection fits perfectly well into that scheme!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for stopping by!Lynda Lehmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10914824862008453219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2090919024696057090.post-8483214878584757042008-02-06T18:23:00.000-07:002008-02-06T18:23:00.000-07:00Merging Point, I thank you for reading my commenta...Merging Point, I thank you for reading my commentary!
