Perfection is possible
From the standpoint of experience, there is in fact such a thing as perfection.
As messy, boring, or scary as this moment might be, there's always an experiential groove available from which everything comes together and is recognized to be perfect just as it is.
The appearance of imperfection only creeps in when we're in resistance to what is. When there's no separation from the truth of experience, there's nowhere for resistance to sprout.
A life centered on this realization is one where challenge and opportunity alike are met with optimistic acceptance, and where the depths of joy and sorrow balance each other out to yield profound stability.
