Perfection

·       Perfection is an illusory ideal that pressures, tyrannizes, fails us.

·       Perfection is not real, or necessary if it exists.

·       The search for perfection is fruitless and endless.

·       Even being imperfect, we can still be whole.

·       Imperfections, ever-present, do not ask for permission or forgiveness. They show themselves, humble and dignified, inviting imitation.

·       Stains can be unwanted marring marks; they can also serve as adorning additions.

·       Wabi-sabi truth: The imperfect, the incomplete, the impermanent have merit.
