Life should come with a warning label,

a ‘Slippery When Wet’ sign

to be hung on foreheads;

a demarcation of disillusion

that could lower our expectations.

But in the very slickest slip

is contained the charm,

the whimsy,

the vulnerability

painted in uncertainty

which brands our flutterings

as human –

imperfection perfected,

the mark of

Craftsmanship Divine.

    I’m all for those warning labels!! God bless you, Melody–love, Caddo

        Same to you. I’ve been in blog world most of today since church. I think it’s time to shut the iPad down. Goodnight.

        Beauty sleep comes in handy, doesn’t it? Especially in avoiding the ‘grouchies’… Goodnight!
