A wonderful post with mightily astute observations on the pointless agony that's induced from the ridiculous struggle to achieve someone else's ideals of perfection.
Thank you for this, Jason. I too have been through your religious experience and have found wonder in my backyard and The Zone in the piano pieces I learn. It all helps me appreciate the flaws and silliness in myself and those I love.
Loved this!!! Thank you!!! I too share that religious background of psychic abuse... and I too deeply appreciate the wabi-sabi and things that are real. 💙
To see beauty in everything, where possible, is a skill. Thank you for this gorgeous comics, love the bigger than sun butterfly and how its wings glow more than the sun colours. Beautiful, calm and inspiring words on how to be mindful and how to be kind to ourselves. Blessings and thank you for this magical work!

Wabi-sabi is the way to go!
Thank you for another uplifting essay, Jason! The wabi-sabi sounds like a wonderful way to live.
My pleasure! Thanks for stopping by to read!
You're welcome, Jason! I always get a lift when I see WeirdoPoetry come across my email.
I enjoyed this article.
This made me smile this morning.
I'm so glad! Thanks for reading!

Thanks, Sue! We all need more silliness and whimsy

That's beautiful, Richard!

That's very kind of you!
I really like this point, Jason: "Ultimately, perfection is about ego and wabi-sabi is about releasing ego’s grip on your soul so that you can soar."
Thanks, Neil! Now, if I could just live that a little bit more…
Well done! I enjoyed this read- and what a pretty, well laid out one at that!
Thanks, Marie!
