Embracing Imperfection – Kaushal Kishore

 

What if flaws entwine me with subtle grace,

Silver strands may weave, leaving no trace…

A rounded midsection, its curves may mumble,

Compared to others, income meek and humble…

*

Striving for six sigma, a quest in vain,

Fix one flaw, while another takes the rein…

Perfection, an esoteric concept’s thread,

In life’s fabric, imperfections are spread…

*

Perfection’s touch is fleeting and rare,

The rat race infection, a constant snare…

Fear lurks, tugging from the lofty heights,

Stress ever-ready, joy’s delicate flights…

*

Embracing imperfection, life’s own design,

No stress holds sway, no fear to confine…

Navigating my path through the unknown,

Moments resonate, near-perfectly sown…

*

Acts and words may not be a pristine art,

But if they spark smiles, a perfect part…

Sharing joy’s echoes, in a reciprocal play,

Even in imperfect moments, a perfect day…

*

P.S. 

I share a video featuring a couple that always evokes emotions when I watch it. Is there anyone who could claim they are imperfect or unhappy? It’s true that happiness is a state of mind. Take a look and judge for yourself.

MUJER – Ventana literaria

MUJER


El tesoro más hermoso

sin duda eres TÚ,

la música que toca el alma,

el legado musical

que si aprendes a tocarla

te acompañará toda la vida.


¡He aquí el tesoro

más grande de la vida!

¿Y cómo no amarla?, si todo

es más bello contigo.

Eres la mujer perfecta.

WOMEN


The most beautiful treasure

without a doubt it is YOU,

the music that touches the soul,

the musical legacy

that if you learn to play it

It will accompany you all your life.


Behold the treasure

bigger than life!

And how can you not love her? If everything

It's more beautiful with you.

You are the perfect woman.


LMML.

Israeli government divisions burst into open as ministers ‘fight’ over post-war plans – Egypt Independent

The public sniping followed what one source described as a “fight” at a meeting of the the security cabinet on Thursday. Far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said there had been a “stormy discussion,” while former Defense Minister Benny Gantz said a “politically motivated attack” had been launched.

The developments illustrate the fault lines emerging in the governing coalition of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after three months of war with Hamas. If the government collapses, Israel would likely face new elections that Netanyahu is widely expected to lose…

Just A Little Ranting Tonight … | Filosofa’s Word

It is a sad state of affairs that the Supreme Court is can no longer be trusted to “do the right thing”, to take their cues from the U.S. Constitution as they swore to do when they took their oaths.  I’ve long supported the lifetime tenure of the Supreme Court Justices, for as a student of Constitutional Law, I understood the reasoning behind it … that it would keep them from becoming corrupt, since they would not be forced to campaign or please partisan presidents in order to retain their seats.  However, today I would opt for limiting their terms to no more than two four-year terms, just as I would opt for term limits for members of Congress.

Trust.  It’s a funny thing, for it takes a long time to build and a very short time to destroy forever.  Rather like respect.  There was a time that I both trusted and respected both the Supreme Court and Congress, as branches of government.  Oh sure, there were members of Congress I didn’t agree with, but that didn’t have to mean I didn’t trust them or respect them.  But today?  WHEW … so different from 20-30 years ago.  Today, there are Republicans and there are Democrats … even those of us who belong to neither party, who consider ourselves to be Independent of partisanship, are ideologically bound to one or the other.

Supreme Court justices were intended to be non-partisan.  Naturally, they have their own ideas, likely vote for one candidate or another, but once they put on that robe and take their seat on the bench, they are supposed to be neutral.  In this, the year 2024, that is a myth.  The five aforementioned justices have sold their souls to Donald Trump and his wealthy donors, and the bond of trust has been broken … perhaps forever.  For me and many others, the Dobbs decision that significantly robbed women of their right to autonomy was the straw that broke the camel’s back.  If they couldn’t even get that right, the odds of them preserving the Constitution with this latest case are slim-to-none…
