Light Without Perfection

These words of wisdom from Leonard Cohen’s Anthem resonated with me.  This is a good reminder that perfection is not the goal.  Some of my bells have cracks and others ring loud and clear.  I have imperfections and I still have much to offer.   These cracks let the light in and give me what I need to start again.  What many gifts do you have to offer in spite of and in addition to imperfections?  How do you let light in?

Anthem

The birds they sang
At the break of day
Start again
I heard them say
Don’t dwell on what
Has passed away
Or what is yet to be

…

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in

Leonard Cohen

For the entire song: Anthem
