Rebelling against unattainable exactitude…

Perfectionism is the voice of the oppressor. It will keep you cramped and insane. 

In Navajo culture, rug weavers intentionally create small imperfections in their work, like odd-coloured beads or stray pieces of yarn. This rebellion against unattainable exactitude makes the art more soulful. Relieved of the unrealistic mandate to be flawless, the rug can relax into its beauty.

How beautiful. I’m gonna take the Navajo culture tip to heart because I most definitely suffer a bit of the OCD, perfection thing (anyone who knows me well would agree I’m sure, Lol). Just sayin’ ;) Hugs. XO
