Unfinished

Rather than look at myself at "imperfect" I try to think of myself as "unfinished."  I am made right when I came into existence, but I don't yet know what that is.  Life is learning about who I am in my daily prayer, work and interactions.  God made me just fine.  Imperfect identifies me as somehow wrongly put together, or missing parts.  The spiritual path is not finding missing parts, or reinventing myself, but rather discovering who I am and then living that out the best that I can.  It is an inside job on a daily basis and then action.  Transformation is about coming upon our unfinished self and embracing it.  It is called growth.   Recovery is only partly about repair shops.
