A lot of my favorite gems have inclusions, flaws, etc. They catch the light from the inside instead of throwing out light like a faceted clear stone.

Flaws
We’re all a little broken
precious stones whose fractures catch
the light
wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could be
pure clear perfect
gems
and yet the flaws make us
and we’re beautiful

A lovely poem from Caitlin, today. Just had to share with you.
Beautiful poem 🙂 I love the sentiment. There’s nothing wrong with being flawed!
No one, so far as I know, is perfect. 😉
