My middle-school knitting teacher told us once

That hand-knit works are not meant to be perfect 

If we are looking for perfection

We should machine-knit the sweater 

Imperfections are what make our pieces  a genuine hand-knit item

Life is similar

If every decision we made or path we took, brought us to our final destination 

That would not be life

It would be a play

In life, we choose a path

On our way, we may get lost

We may get distracted 

We may go down the wrong road for a while

But as long as we persist

We’ll arrive at the destination

And if we don’t, that’s OK too

Life is messy
