The Beauty of Imperfection

Hi all,
its Easter friday and the entire school is in school mugging for exams. I'm in school mugging Tax with Ben and friends and saw Pat and Co in school too. Missed their infectious laughter... Apparently they are of course Delighted to know tat we are mugging as well and we had dinner together. Din Din was fine- we had food, the mosquitoes feasted on us- everyone and everything was happy.

Have been in very delightful mood recently. A little flighty, and living in dreamland. Some of you might have figured out why, but its definitely causing me to lose my momentum. I can break out into smiles and songs all of a sudden and couldnt careless if anyone sees me singing as i walk along the corridor.

Such feelings- how to describe. Its like a dream come true, sometimes I wonder if its too good to be true. Such perfection, such compatibility is incredible. The common blessings i receive all around us: just reiterates the point that this is thy season to be happy.

Dream come true is good as we all often say; however, seldom do any mindful soul notice the dark cloud lining that lingers with it. I use the analogy of my teeth for instance: when you do not have a beautiful set of teeth, you dream of having a perfect set to complete the look. But when you own a beautiful set already, you are always harbour fear of losing your pearlies, having chipped tooth, or broken tooth to mar the perfection.

I always have the recurring fear of falling down stairs and loosing one of two teeth in the process. That, i feel, is even worse feeling than having unstraight teeth i gather. So when you have found perfection, you live in constant fear of losing it. What to do to counter that?

Oh, which brings me to the next point: ernie loves to use analogies to illustrate her point. Be prepared where she will dish out the most wacky analogies that you can ever associate with.

Good nite.
