..... I love this ...

Beautiful
Imperfection .....


"Research by sociolinguist Albert Mehrabian shows that in a face-to-face encounter
7% of a verbal message comes from the words used:
38% comes from vocal tone, pacing and inflection and
55% of the message is transmitted by the speaker's appearance and body language"

We are the human we carry and live - not just what we know.
Sometimes just being there with another is the right thing to say - NO words.
"Presence and availability is the essence of Love"
says Gabriel Marcel.

Sometimes we over-talk when we are nervy or just apprehensive.
Being with another who is going through tough times - or worse, is a reminder to us of our Beautiful Imperfection.
Well - at least our imperfection.
We cannot be smug can we?
We have had tough times or maybe right now .......
I find that a few humans I ask about these things say that they believe they are beautiful but don't feel it.
Some say the are not beautiful.
but
Know they are living 'imperfection'
Accepting we have both, despite our feelings about them, is vital.
"I'm ok" is a big factor in our emotional health.
We cannot be "I'm ok - you are ok" unless we have that first "ok".

You are beautiful
(and you know about the other!)
