As I wander through life, I realize it is always a process of self discovery and accepting imperfection that is perfect in itself. It is all there and is real. It is not about finding something that is ideal,but accepting that which is. That makes life worth whiling over.
Discover self–
Imperfect, unrefined;
Genuine, real–
Not hidden;
Unvarnished, vulnerable.
Happiness appears;
Refuge
Falsehoods recede–
Ever so slowly,
Spirit wakens–
Revitalized and awake.

About ivonprefontaine
I completed a PhD at Gonzaga University in Spokane, WA. Previously, I taught for 20 years and taught for 15 years in a wonderful hybrid school. My dissertation topic and research were how certain teachers experience becoming who teachers. In teaching and leanring, I am a boundary-crosser who understands moving ahead is a leap of faith.
Teaching is a calling and vocation to express who I am as a person. Currently, I am waiting and listening to what calls me next. I am an educator, phenomenologist, scholar, boundary-crosser, published poet, author, parent, grandparent, and spouse.

Thank you Ann.
You are so right. It’s about accepting what’s ther, and sometimes it’s hard. Because you want it to be different. Great post!
It can be hard, but I find it is ultimately rewarding. Thank you.
So true!

It is impossible to be true to yourself unless you ‘know’ yourself. Thank you for this reminder.
You are welcome.
