The imperfect is our paradise.
Don’t talk to me about flowers and sunshine and waterfalls; this is the ground in which life sows the seeds of our fulfillment. The imperfect is our paradise.
Let us pray then that we do not shun the struggle. May we attend with mindfulness, generosity, and compassion to all that is broken in our lives. May we live fully in each flawed and too human moment, and thereby gain the victory.

It was indeed shocking. Does the SDS help to explain what has gone on here?

It helps in the sense that this rib cage looks nothing like Jeune’s Syndrome, and even more so, the left side looks nothing like Jeune’s Syndrome in its very normalcy. With SDS, there are rib cage abnormalities that aren’t as clearly set and along a spectrum that at the more severe end has thoracic dystrophy involved that accounts for this.
