I saw the following quote in the signature of an email that Linda Jones, a great woman and development profesional, sent me:
"Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in."
(Leonard Cohen, Anthem)
What a powerful piece of poetry! My interpretation from a facilitation perspective:
Use what you have available
Build on top of what is there
It does not matter if it is broken
It does not matter if it does not run smooth
It is yours; perhaps the only thing you have
Offer it with an open heart
Do not worry about the reception
Nothing is perfect
But all is good
Because it is there, in the stain
That the best in us can flourish
