Subtle Things & Imperfections

Today was such a good day. I am on the path to health for my body, mind and soul, and I feel so good.
Everything just worked out today. And I didn't feel sick or paranoid, which is such a nice change.
After work, I participated in a Project 365 photo shoot with the lovely Nicole. And this was the product:
Day 63/365. My new favorite. :)
We painted our faces pink, and then pulled off a Cirque du Soliel design on our faces in yellow. Our tongues matched the pink!

However, this magnificent photograph was not the only thing produced this evening. Little does Nicole know, she teaches me new things all the time.

Tonight, I found the beauty in imperfection.

When we painted our faces initially, it outlined and emphasized all our scars and bumps. At first, self conscious, we noticed the imperfections on each other, and relaxed. Despite being covered beyond recognition in mixed pink paint, Nicole is one of the most beautiful people I have ever met. That is the beauty in imperfection; it allows you to love and let go. Nicole and I both have imperfections far more serious than acne, but we love the other, despite. Again, that is the beauty in imperfection.  Having the ability to love another, and look past the bumps and scars.
I love you, Nicole. Good luck in your upcoming year at school, and I have the utmost confidence in your abilities. Thank you for everything.
