There are no perfect days.
We struggle hard against this truth.
In our demanding ways, we haven't wanted life to be a process; we have wanted to reach a secure point of arrival.
We have struggled against the dialogue and learning process of experience.
We've looked for a "fix" and for perfection.
Even now we long to "get it right."
We continue to learn and to grow, but the lessons we learn are not the things we expected.
We grieve the lateness of our learning, and then we go on to learn more.
As we grow we learn how to learn.
We become more accepting of life as a process with no shortcut to the truth.
We learn to engage in the process and accept that there usually is no right or wrong answer at the end of our search.
Today, may I accept the truth, which comes from the lessons of my experience - and be tolerant of its incompleteness.

it's like a game of push-me, pull-me or a tug-of-war, this learning stuff
too late, too soon. . .
too much, too little. . .
that's how it feels; and yet it one takes time out to think about it, it's always just right
*no shortcut to the truth*. Because the journey is part of the truth?
