life isn't perfect

Nothing is perfect

and in the cracks and crevices

there exists

a different kind of beauty.

In the spaces between

we find we have room to grow.

In our missteps

and our backtracking

we get to see the landscape

a second time through.

We get to choose again,

to try it differently.

And if not try again,

instead we learn

how to better find our path.
