Imperfection, So Perfect
A Poem by Brigid Cooley
If you Google search images of the Grand Canyon, you will see proof that the Earth, in all its beauty, has stretch marks.
Go YouTube videos of Mt. St. Helens erupting during the era of Michael Jackson and shoulder pads.
Nature has mood swings too.
In the winter, birds leave their homes and look for a place that is warmer in order to find comfort.
Sometimes, you have to leave in order to find comfort.
Clouds cry.
Winds can be destructive.
Branches fall when they are being weighed down by too much.
Approximately 5 million people a year travel to see one of Earth's stretch marks so that they can gasp at its wonder; yet, we continue to cover up our own.
Are we afraid that someone might look at our imperfections and think that they are beautiful?
