Glorious Imperfection

The idea of her life ending tomorrow made her reflect on the path she knew as everyday life. Instantly she knew it was not enough. She wanted to live, not just survive. The fear grew inside of her as she reflected on her life up to now. It looked more and more like a constant battle. She had been, up to now, fighting a continuous battle, but why? What was the point? What would the outcome be? Was it worth it? Was there even a need for the battle? Slowly the answer became more and more clear, as if the answer were the sun starting to shine through the disappearing rain clouds. The battle would soon be over. She need not surrender, but rather compromise. All that was required was acceptance of all life's curve balls and mysteries. Acceptance of the glorious imperfection that is life.
