The Weave of Perfection

You see, when weaving a blanket, an Indian woman leaves a flaw in the weaving of that blanket to let the soul out. Martha Graham

Perfection is a wicked web to weave, especially for yourself. Since everything is always in movement how can you define perfection? It is a hamster wheel of disappointment and discouragement. Mostly it depletes you and disconnects you from the vibrant life force that is actively at play.

Perfection, as a goal, is an illusion of control and containment, quite contrary to what’s true in creation. Magnificence and beauty occur throughout creation when something is what it IS! There is no effort involved, no to do list that needs to be checked off. There is no longing for attainment but a quiet surrender to the majesty of one’s organic nature.

Just as a babbling brook or a meadow of flowers are perfect in their natural state, so are YOU . . . perfectly pulsing with the essence of life.
