Celebrating imperfections


The next time you get tangled up 
In thinking that you need to be more perfect, 
Spend some time with a fruit tree 
(These are plums, but other fruits work, too) 
And notice how imperfect they can be, 
Gnarled, lopsided, and yet beautiful 
In their very imperfections — AND 
They’re still producing tasty fruit 
As well as blossoms for the bees. 
Do consider the possibility 
That your imperfections may be part of your charm...
