"face your fears, retrace the tears, ride the whims of your mind"

Always striving to be better is tiring, and takes its toll. Sometimes we need a reminder that imperfection is what makes us human, that it is really quite ok to stumble and fall. And even if we don't pick ourselves up immediately, sitting and watching the world go by isn't such a bad way to pass time.

Ring the bells that still can ring.
Forget your perfect offering.
There is a crack, a crack in everything.
That's how the light gets in.

--Leonard Cohen
