Imperfectly

So we are dog-sitting our beloved canine friend Louie. He is super sweet and super big. Arlo and Aley have already had a tussle about our Harry Potter cloak, all I have accomplished is pouring two bowls of cereal and cutting out a a hand drawn jet for little Mr. And then, they are off in orbit, totally enthralled in their game, bellies full, dogs off cavorting in the woods instead of barking at each other by my door.

I am not perfect. Homeschoooling, especially radical unschooling, is a messy, zany pursuit on the best day. Today is a day for trust and music and LOTS of coffee!

So i leave you with these thoughts....

As machines become more and more efficient and perfect, so it will become clear that imperfection is the greatness of man.
Thomas Carlyle

Even imperfection itself may have its ideal or perfect state.
Thomas de Quincey

Imperfection clings to a person, and if they wait till they are brushed off entirely, they would spin for ever on their axis, advancing nowhere.

The fact of storytelling hints at a fundamental human unease, hints at human imperfection. Where there is perfection there is no story to tell.
