Excerpt from Anthem by Leonard Cohen
'Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in'
I was at a 'Mental Health Breakfast' in Hamilton, Ontario this morning to hear Valerie Pringle and her daughter Catherine Pringle speak about mental health. It was a great event. Valerie closed her talk with the above quote.
Anything that allows for and even encourages you to be imperfect...I am all over it. We're all imperfect, but I think sometimes what causes so much stress is the constant attempt to be perfect. It's useless, people! (Thank goodness, because I couldn't accomplish it anyway.)
