Sometimes a perfect moment is all we need. If we concentrate in the now, all the moments can be perfect. We have everything we need in any given time. The problem is, most of us are always looking to the past or the future for that moment...
ReplyDeleteYum! So Rumi-like.
ReplyDeleteSome lessons take a life time to learn. If we pay attention we might actually learn it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sad desire. It'd be hard to never live up to expectations of perfection. I couldn't imagine.
ReplyDeleteHMMM, very good.
ReplyDeletePerfect can be found in 0. We know that perfection is forever. Love is perfect. Great post. I love your insight. Marty....
ReplyDeleteI’ve recently shared many perfect moments Marty and if they last the rest of my life I’d die a very happy man.
ReplyDeleteMine occurred July 12, 2008: I married the love of my life. I pay the price gladly every day.
ReplyDeletedeep indeed.
ReplyDeleteThere is always a trade off. We sell our souls for coke cans. The perfect moment seems infallible.
ReplyDeleteThis is very true, and yes, there is always a trade-off...and it must be a good one! Thanks for this NP (Marty)
ReplyDeletewow, this is a good aphorism. love it! ^_^
ReplyDeleteA small price to pay for a perfect moment if it can be found. Thank you. DB
ReplyDeleteDear NP, It's a great reminder.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
Isn't it so true.
ReplyDeleteThis one sent shivers through me. So many, many people are perennially dis-satisfied with their lot and unable to accept life on life's terms. It's so important to enjoy the journey, even when it's bumpy and raining!
ReplyDeleteExcellent...In the search for perfection, the presence of perfection is missed.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great reminder, NP--that really, every moment should be cherished.
ReplyDeleteA great and wise person once pointedly told me that "Perfectionism can be cured."
ReplyDeleteI'm cured. But not perfectly. . .
