The note that came with this anonymous contribution to Mandalas for Marinke reads:
“Depression Sucks.
I almost didn’t send in this mandala because the center is not perfect. But, neither am I, and I am OK with that. Being told directly and indirectly that I am “not good enough” wreaked havoc in my life. I am good enough. YOU are good enough. You and I are perfect because God the Creator made us just the way we are. Sloppy centers and all. I have felt the despair of wanting my life to end. I have lived through it and have become comfortable with who I am. Perfect in God’s eyes, whose are the only eyes that matter.”
