In the 'Im-Perfection'...

Picture
The light shines through the canopy of the broken tree. Elizabeth finds out it is 'Zilverlinde', a tree she has a special connection with. The photo is captured by her husband, Jeroen, the photographer, who sees through his lens as a way of contemplation.

​What is imperfection for you?
What does imperfection mean for you? 
Sometimes the world strives so much to perfection, often than not, we miss the beauty in the or our imperfection. We are no doubt born whole, however, as we grow up, we become broken. Broken by traumas, human's hurts and wounds...

If we are raised in an environment intolerable of imperfection, and focus on perfection, it is hard to see beauty in the imperfection.

Whether it is a broken tree, bowl... or others even in our broken self. 

Jesus, who is moved by love and suffering, he sees beauty in the imperfection and brokenness, the goodness in the humanity, the Divine LOVE in us, whether it is in a tax collector, lepers, prostitutes, even the Pharisees... if you know the bible story well. 

But Jesus never says continue to commit in the 'way' you are in. He asked them to return to their true Divine nature,  to come home and sin no more (I can't find a better word to illustrate it.)

We, each one of us, has a choice in life. Truly, we have a choice whether to turn away from what is not serving us, loving to ourselves, or to put it simply, unhealthy way of life..., to come home whether to heal, to love self more compassionately... to the awakening conscious truth that can sometimes sting so painfully internally yet the gift of freedom and peace is what we receive and given at last. Ultimately, in life, the simple question is:


What do we truly want in life?
And do they serve us in the most loving way to self, others and the environment?


*Taking action is not about reaching a goal or attaining something.  Elizabeth, after walking in her own personal journey, she sees that healing, seeing within, turning inward... is a natural organic flow, neither impose, forced or fight in. Yet it is with ease and the grace comes from God. All she does is to open her heart to God within and ready to open the gateway to her soul to see. She had fought so hard for many years until she surrenders and let go into the flow and BE. That changes for her ever since then.  She grows in maturity spiritually, psychologically, bodily and emotionally. If she has not walked her own journey, there is no way she can accompany others on theirs. 

She has also blog on 'The Beauty of a Broken Tree' if you have not read it. The lesson she learns and evolved in contemplation from the broken tree she loves contemplating and witnessing the lively movement of the birds in her Sanctuary Forest Garden.*

    Shalom! Peace-FuLL! Bless-FuLL ! Love-FuLL To you!

    I am Elizabeth, and also known as Angel Rose.  My Chinese name is
    黃 秀 珠.

    Ever since I come home to my true self,  I dare to step out and dance in the heart and garden of love.
    ​
    My desire to post here is to have courage to show up as who I am and in return to inspire each beautiful soul on earth to live life as who he/she is.  I am a seeker so I encourage you to be and continue to be a seeker.  Life is inevitable with ups and downs, challenges along our human journey.  However when we make time to insure the growth of our inner garden - our heart with  self-care, nourishment, growth, healing, play, creativity, silence and loving ourselves unconditionally, we can live life to the fullest with peace, bliss, contentment and gratitude, and  we can go forth to serve others in true joy and love.  I share here my journey with you as well as the ordinary moments I witness, experience and encounter in my daily life.  Let us journey together.  Let our journey begins.  let each of our unique soul's story unfolds like a rose opens her petals, revealing her heart.
