As this will be the Year of the Dragon, hopefully we can all get emotional support dragons!
I love and appreciate your discussion about the "perfect" vs. the good. In this time of radical polarization and absolute Either/Or that is being weaponized, we have to remember the Both/And, the Paradox, the Nuance, that is present in everyone. We need to be okay with "It's Complicated" and befriend the fraught. The only way out is Through the Shadow Material; only when we can turn our primal dark matter into gold will we be able to rise, like the lotus, from the mud.
"Now and then, I quote or discuss a person who is less than a perfect exemplar of my noble ideals." ~Brezsny
So good, about learning from others, good or bad. About learning to accept my flaws and learning from them too. And I think de-identifying with what I think I know and being right. About waiting for people to ask for help and being grateful for the help and understanding I get from others. Most of what I think I know was learned from others as they helped in one way or another. And if they had held on to it as their identity I might have never have received it.
breathing out love and light.. light bearers unite, your time as now...

Flowing with the knowing and letting go.
I need an emotional support dragon to protect my beginner’s heart
