Blemishes

Knots are seen as common blemishes in trees. The word blemished is defined as a flaw that soils the appearance of something otherwise flawless.

It's easy to get caught up in the process of improving something until it's what we deem as perfect.

And it is okay to strive for improvement.

But all things in life go through a process and through that process mistakes, blemishes, and flaws are bound to appear.

It's important to remember that the imperfections in life can too be sources of beauty.
