Searching For Perfection In An Imperfect World
Just what exactly is perfection??? It's a silly word really, and I put that word usually in front of the phrase "soul mate" as in the "perfect soul mate". Seriously.... I try very hard not to get irritated when I hear the words "perfect partner" or "soul mate". You can just imagine my horror of finding out I am; what somebody thinks of as they're perfect partner. I mean...... I look in the mirror everyday, I am deeply deeply flawed and I know it. I'm thinking to myself, "what is wrong with this person", having the nerve to accuse little ole me of being perfect?
If I were perfect... I would cease to exist. I would have no lessons I needed to learn, so why would I have chosen to make yet one more earth bound journey to experience this thing we call the life path? I assure you... I am not here to be a perfect partner to you, no my friend..... I am afraid not.
Soul mate??? My friend.... you may be one of many that surround me just as I could be one of many for you, but I am certainly not the be all end all, reason that you breathe, nor are you my life force. I doubt seriously we will be walking off into the sunset hand in hand anytime soon, but if we do.... I'll appreciate that golden moment for what, where or when it is.
We have lessons to learn from each other, the majority of them will most likely be incredibly fun growth experiences but unfortunately.... some of them may be a bit challenging. The good news is we have been blessed with chemistry and attraction. What a wonderful way of learning our lessons together and I have to admit it does make those challenges much easier.
I will appreciate the path that we are presently on, with the hope that we can grow together, into what can be a lifetime of happiness. Although I accept the reality that it could also end in a month. We shall help each other teach what needs to be taught and learn what needs to be learned. I vow to never look at you as perfect. I will nonetheless, view you as human, in hopes that you will see me in the same light for as long as the love shall last.
Peace out friends,
Margaret
