Perfection = PIF

    What is the definition of  Perfection? Well, sometimes it's a bottle of Mexican Coca-Cola on a Sunday afternoon. Sometimes, it's a grimy and fiercely given hug from my crazy kids. Chocolate chip mint ice cream is definitely perfect. Or, it can also be, the quiet.. I love quiet, easily as much as I love noise.I was trying to explain to a friend the other day.. that they were perfect.. and they listed flaws, that were numerous indeed... and that's when it hit me. Perfection. Is. Flaws... put together to make that someone special. PIF if you will...( what the world really needs more of is, acronyms. )


       First of all, I must say, perfection is rather hum drum. It's not interesting in the slightest, FYI.  Perfectly perfect people that always do what they are supposed to and say what they are supposed to and FEEL what they are supposed to. Oh UGH.  I find these individuals rather snooze inducing. I prefer people with a little "zing" to them. People that don't pretend and aren't afraid to be who they are?Awesome. People that incur a little wrath every now and then for who they decide to be?  Even better. I must say, I have a fondness for black sheep.... prolly because I have so much in common with them!

     What is perfection really? Boring.. that's what. I prefer imperfect people, because in ALL the flaws can only lie ALL the beauty. Leonard Cohen wrote " Nothing is perfect. There is a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in." I suppose I like my people cracked a lil.. makes things more interesting. A little light shining in, through the cracks... makes it all the better. I'm very cracked as it turns out....I'm learning that it's going to be okay.  So, cheers to all my cracked people that I adore. I'm glad you are perfect just the way you are.. flaws and all. Perfection... it's in the eye of the beholder, I think. So I guess if I think you are perfect.. then that means I think you are cracked just a little bit.. which is what I consider to be a good thing. I'm Jus Sayin. ( And seriously... try the Mexican Coca-Cola... it will change yore life)
