Feeling torn in two?
This mushroom is still thriving, held together by threads.
Nature’s surprise after a summer’s rain. Still thriving, it greeted day-peep once more.
Maybe I’ll strive to be like the mushroom someday, maybe I’ll also accept that I’m perfectly imperfect.
For now, I know, I’m only human.

Actually, this is a voting security feature. During public voting, only club members can read posts submitted for that contest. Since anyone reading the story is able to vote (click the Like button), we reserve these capabilities to members who SignIn. Before we implemented this security feature, people were voting multiple times and making the public voting process unfair and out of balance. To fix this, our staff finally decided to allow only members who SignIn to read the stories. Membership is free and easy, and ensures our club is safe, secure, and family-friendly!

Thank you for your lovely comment once again, Sandra. It has been a long year and I haven’t always been easy on myself. But I’ve accomplished a lot and I still show up everyday for what matters most. I suppose, the mushroom and I may have a few things in common after all. ☺️
Wow. I agree with Sandra. It is an amazing photo, and the description is very inspiring. We are perfectly imperfect but we are created perfectly out of our imperfections. Nice.

To Leave Comments - Please SignIn with GoogleJuma, you made my whole year. What a fantastic comment! My friends often lovingly poke fun at me, they’ve nicknamed me “professor.” I’ll have to share this comment with them. I tend to find deep meaning in the simplest of things. People view me as eccentric or artsy (this is not always intended as a compliment by them.) So, this means a lot to me. Thanks for taking the time to comment?
