Imperfection Most Sublime

A L O H A From Honolulu!

Close your eyes,
let sunlight paint
Her soft brushstrokes
upon your soul.
In quietude remember
The child who knew how
to make herself whole.



Stars my ceiling
moon my guide
Peace within
dreams applied.




The shell may be
built on a curve, but
the pearl within is perfect.
Imperfections can give birth
to the most sublime beauty.
    Rumi



Some people, no matter how old they get, never lose their beauty - they merely move it from their faces into their hearts. Martin Buxbaum

Or perhaps their beauty was always in their hearts and other people start to notice it...

I love that round walkway and Pixie showing us the beauty in her heart. That mural is cool, too.
