Imagine a world in which
you were actually perfect.
Finished.
Done.
With nothing to chase
nothing to walk toward.
How boring.
God, how boring.

There’s such wisdom here: what looks like ‘not yet perfect’ is actually ‘still alive.’ Still becoming. Still reaching toward something. And that reaching that incompleteness, is where all the richness lives. The kite image is perfect: no end destination, just the dance with wind and sky. That’s not a failure of perfection. That’s the whole point of being human. 💙
