I am unperfect.<\/p>\n

Somewhere between deficient and flawless lays a status of simply being in the process.<\/p>\n

How can we be perfect if we are not yet finished becoming who we are to become?<\/p>\n

In this state, my state of TODAY, I believe we must be \u201cun\u201dperfect because my being is \u201cun\u201ddone.<\/p>\n

I have not yet arrived; I am still in the process. Should I be fully formed- of body, of mind, and of spirit, I fear I would be \u201cim\u201dperfect. And as embarrassed as I am every day of my failings, I should hope that these hours are not defined by inadequacies and oversights on the part of my living. I long that my everyday existence is just another step in the journey. Another day of growth and learning. One more brushstroke of my life\u2019s work.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow I will work towards learning more ways of the world. Tomorrow I will push my mind to acquire more knowledge. Tomorrow I will stretch and nourish and rest my body. Tomorrow I will seek to self-actualize. Tomorrow I will mentor and listen and pray and work and dream. Again. Better than today. And better yet again the next day.<\/p>\n

No, I hope I shall never be finished developing. There is too much to learn. My body will age without (and even despite!) my intervention. My soul reads:\u00a0 \u201cwork in progress\u201d. My unperfect soul.<\/p>\n
