Daily Meditation for December 13

EMOTIONAL HONESTY.

A feeling does not need to be reasonable to deserve acknowledgement.

THE BEAUTY OF IMPERFECTION

Something doesn't have to be flawless to have meaning.

REFLECTION

We often become so focused on how something should look that we overlook what makes it interesting. A crooked handmade ornament, an uneven drawing, a recipe that turns out differently than expected. These small imperfections can become the very details we remember. Perfection leaves little room for surprise. When we allow ourselves to make things without demanding flawless results, creativity can become more enjoyable and less intimidating.

WRITE

Think of something imperfect that you love. What makes it meaningful despite, or perhaps because of, its flaws?

CREATE

Make a drawing using continuous lines without erasing or correcting anything. Incorporate unexpected marks into the composition.

LISTEN

Choose a live musical performance and notice the details that make it different from a studio recording.

SHARE

Do you have an imperfect object, memory, or creation that holds a special place in your life?
