Perfection

Adorned Buddha statue in my upstairs living space and bedroom.

Perfection

5/20/11

Often it can take years,

or lifetime, to see this,

sometimes a day, few hours,

yet, once able, each moment

that shows up uniquely different,

yes, there's flawlessly executed production

of books, art work, photography,

fine finish carpentry, and more

where 'creator' walks away satisfied,

but also in 'contrary' events

seemingly disastrous with little merit

until grasped as integral piece

supplied by hard lesson learned,

with 'proper' attitude and perception

every 'mistake' has it's place

in wholeness of larger picture

intimately woven into beautiful masterpiece

as one of a kind

human 'becoming', 'being', rare composition

filled by experiences particularly theirs,

already a 'buddha' at birth

people forget the myriad miraculous

ingredients that enable our Existence,

failing to appreciate twists, turns,

supposed successes, defeats along path

which reveal perfection through introspection.
