Perfection. Think of a snowflake. When I think of snowflakes and perfection I think of a passionate speech from the movie Moonstruck when Nicholas Cage’s “Johnny” receives a wisdom download about love and explains it to Cher’s “Loretta”.
“Loretta, I love you. Not, not like they told you love is and I didn’t know this either. But love don’t make things nice, it ruins everything! It breaks your heart, it makes things a mess. We, we aren’t here to make things perfect. Snowflakes are perfect, stars are perfect. Not us! Not US!
We are not here to make things perfect. Perfection is reserved for God alone. His creations (us) have flaws and in the recognition of our flaws we feel less than perfect, needing something to fix us. Our flaws have driven us to crave perfection in ourselves and others and in the process we have alienated ourselves from the very thing that makes us beautiful.
This week on Talk-N-Angels Radio Show, we will talk about how Love sees the imperfection and loves it anyway, embraces it, owns it! You have to love yourself as you are, not as you hoped or wanted yourself to be. “As you are” includes your habits, your judgments, your fears and insecurities. It includes all the times you’ve held yourself up seeking approval and have been let down, disappointed and left feeling inadequate. We talk about letting go, but we must first stop seeking perfection. Practice compassion, first for the self, then you will find it more easily for others.
Talk-N-Angels Radio Show can be heard on Dreamvisions 7 Radio Network.
