I spent the day at a meeting today in which the speaker discussed the pressure society puts on us to attain perfection. To me, perfection is deeply personal and means different things to different people.

  

Perfection lives in perception

Crafted in the eye of the beholder

Appreciated by the designator

Declared to be so

Perception lives in perfection

Perfection exists in creation

Designated in the mind of the master

Valued by the maker

Declared to be so

Creation exists in perfection

Perfection explodes in passion

Venerated in the circle of artistry

Treasured by the congregation

Declared to be so

Passion explodes in perfection

 Perfection

Lives in perception

Exists in creation

Explodes in passion

Thrives in uniqueness
