Designed through methods we may never understand…
The scattered chaos and grimy lather of our striving to just make it through the danged day…
Is dotted by vanishing glimpses at joy and yes maybe hope…
Almost microscopic and instantaneously they take flight as soon as noticed…
Then back again into strenuosity, into tension and fear…
But The Designer Knows…
It’s all about the definition,
The one the Devil stole and keeps hidden, while a shinier and attractive one was left in its place…
That phony definition causes a world full of problems…
It’s the sweat, tears and the fight too. It’s the exhaustion of the mundane battle to stay barely on our own winding and ever-looping washboarded beaten path. It’s an occasional simple smile and a fleeting hint that the slightest difference was made…
It’s these daily opportunities to engage in torment again, to be gripped and to do some gripping ourselves at the edge of the ether of the advancing Now.
The true definition of Perfection, comes clothed in rags, it’s humble and plain. It doesn’t feel special or exhilarating. The true definition of Perfection is exactly unlike our imaginary picture of it.
And somehow, someway, I hope I can remember after this moment that the small still voice whispered it to me tonight…
Until next week my friends, notice another truer version of Perfection everywhere you look.
Sincerely,
Aaron Nichols
I like that Aaron. Expectations set to high results in less than desired results in one’s own mind. Especially if we cannot effect all aspects ourselves. The perspective of looking for perfection in another way allows for piece of mind before, during, and after the event or action. Thanks for sharing this. I read it at just the perfect time. Stan
Reading this while drinking coffee and moving for a couple months back to Baldwin with folks so they can take care of my grandpa and I take care of their house and have that much more down for spring house buying season. Was a big decision and needed to hear about not perfection and it reminds me not everything is just how its planned in your head but another up helping you try to figure out everyday
