It need not be something that's never been seen...nor done - before.

It need not be unique...original...or truly special.

It need not- even - be perfect.

But what it does need - what I need it to be - is real....heartfelt and honest and true. It needs to be a reflection of my vision in that moment. It needs to be quiet. It needs to be authentic. It needs to speak not only to how it looks on the outside...but to how it feels within.

Surrounded by nothing other than chaos and mess....dying weeds...dewy grass...morning mist..and rising light - I thought it doesn't get any more imperfect than this...does it?

And in that - instant - I took one deep slow breath...knowing inside me that whatever it was that I'd been looking for..I'd found.
