… is what we are thought to be. Going by the dinning that has been done over aeons, perfection is the unattainable pinnacle of existence. However we strive we shall not be. But, contrary to this belief, we should try. Isn’t that quite the conundrum? To try and be that which you will never be. And therein lies the way the dream shatters in sharp splinters for many. The imperfectly perfect possibility of existence.
That said, do you not still revisit moments, words written before, words read in that moment of angst that pretty much sum up a perfection? Yours? All on the possibility that this is never going to be perfect. And yet it has been. It is. You are. And the best part? You do NOT need anyone to tell you that you are. You know; that is quite enough.
If you have reache
d that point, there really isn’t any need for seeking perfection. It already is part of you. Just that fact that it will never mark you, lead you or trail you is enough.
Imperfect, I am. A perfect possibility. To you? Ah, there I go again, like you, always wanting to know 🙂
Imperfect, are you?

Yup…totally imperfect in many ways !! But happy 😀
But I was not like this before…I was too critical of myself…I always wanted to do everything with that elan and class and perfect finish. It happened before. When it doesn’t happen, I thought of myself as a failure.
Now, things are different…I let go and go with the flow and happy at what I do…am feeling a lot better and more relaxed !
Lovely post Usha…was wondering about your MM post 😀

From me comes another question: Imperfect in what? Physically, emotionally, intellectually, or as a whole? When I think of imperfection what comes to mind about myself is my eyesight, imperfect. Sigh. As for most other things, aren’t they more like different than imperfect?
I just let my thoughts wander a bit there. 😀

Imperfect, when that word popped up was in a multiple form…. all that you say, as well as something beyond. I’ve always taken to heart what a former lecturer said once about perfection and how we can never attain it, but we can strive for excellence. I’m not sure I agree with what she says though 😀 😀 Duh.
Imperfect, here? My eyesight too 😛 Plus a few other things I can think of, for myself 😀
Thank you Shail!

There is something in that word of the heading
That just will not do our bidding
But when it’s missing
We’re filled with zing
The culprit is ‘Imp’ — i’m not kidding!
