Eternal flaws
The universe is flawless, evolving at its own harmonious rhythm, with raw creative force guiding its every move
The only eternal flaws in this universe seem to be found in the way human beings insist on seeing Creation through the eyes of limitation. Maybe that is one reason faith came into being. If we can't see the overview for ourselves, noticing that the whole is flawless, we need faith to take us beyond our limitations. Even that human frailty has a perfect place in the Divine Plan. Perhaps the Great Mystery's intent was to confound the human mind so we could learn to trust- instead of trying to reason and figure it out!
After all, everything and every force in our universe is basically balanced and neutral. It is the human species that judges every feeling, event, experience, person, or thought as being good or bad. Maybe through faith and trust we can stop labeling and begin to look at life as just being.

Defectos eternos
El universo es perfecto, evolucionando a su propio ritmo armónico, con una fuerza creativa pura que guía todos sus movimientos
Los únicos defectos eternos en este universo parecen encontrarse en la manera en que los seres humanos insisten en ver la Creación a través de los ojos de la limitación. Tal vez esa es una de las razones para que la fe existiera. Si no podemos ver la información general por nosotros mismos, dándonos cuenta de que el todo es perfecto, necesitamos la fe para que nos lleve más allá de nuestras propias limitaciones. Incluso esa fragilidad humana tiene un lugar perfecto en el Plan Divino. Tal vez la intención del Gran Misterio era confundir a la mente humana para que pudiésemos aprender a confiar- en lugar de tratar de razonar y comprenderlo todo!
Después de todo, cada cosa y cada fuerza de nuestro universo es básicamente equilibrada y neutral. Es la especie humana quien juzga cada sentimiento, acontecimiento, experiencia, persona, o pensamiento como bueno o malo. Tal vez a través de la fe y la confianza podemos dejar de etiquetar y comenzar a mirar la vida simplemente como ser.

the initial photographs are from an religious image factory I found walking around the city of San Felipe here in Venezuela. All are used in popular altars and the people who use them truly believe in their favors and healing powers. The last one is my altar at home.
