cleaning

it rained hard last night
and left the air fresh and clear.
I am left with questions today,
but not with out direction.
I may disappear for a while,
i think it would be good.
People judge me because i am not what they want...
i nevr was.
I am this very imperfect person,
with many faults.
Can one love both perfectly and imperfectly at the same time?

Of course we as humans do this all the time;
at one point selflessly, wanting only good for another;
and another selfishly, wanting only what is good for ourselves.
This is the human condition.

But the day is new and i am harvesting my herbs:
spearmint,
peppermint,
oregano,
marjoram,
thyme,
chives,
tarragon
and rosemary.
Drying will be for the winter months
and so i prepare.

You grow a good variety of herbs. Would love to see a photo of your herb garden :)

A big hug for you from sunny Singapore! :)

"Can one love both perfectly and imperfectly at the same time?" Such a profound pondering. Think your leaning towards the conclusion that "this is the human condition" is right on target. Thanks for sharing and enjoy the harvest from your garden! Lucky you =)))
