HEALTH AND WELLBEING.

Honouring Imperfection. 

The ideals of health and wellbeing are often rooted to perfection. Perfect minds, bodies, relationships, occupations, that can obscure the reality that our lives are textured, raw and imperfect-

they are human.

It is perhaps in embracing imperfections that may return us back to wholeness, to connection, as Nick Cave writes.

“If we truly comprehend and acknowledge that we are all imperfect creatures, we find that we become more tolerant and accepting of others’ shortcomings and the world appears less dissonant, less isolating”- Nick Cave
