If there was a such this as perfect it would be found in the simple A child’s smile a mother’s love a father’s protection if perfect could be theorized philosophically placed into linguistic terms there could be no words no label grand enough no construction simple enough save only laughter if perfect could be understood mathematically it would be either be a 1 or a 0 no other representations yields the same universal and instant ease of understanding that children instinctually grasp the idea yet the same children when grown could spend their life exploring the complexities If perfect could be known on a spiritual level it would be that moment one realizes there is a god ascending to level of worship and devotion others mistake them for the god they serve or it would be that moment when one rejects all divinity professing that all in creation is not of creation but of nature and nurture the only guiding force is the will to survive If perfect could be expressed in dance or music there would only be one motion one note maybe none stillness silence If perfect could be expressed on canvas or in stone it would be such that the work would never be started untouched maybe never completed unfinished Perfect is as simple as knowing that one can never see one’s own face what one knows as one’s one image is only a reflection what’s more is that a person is the only person that can never see ones own image yet all they encounter sees them exactly as they are exactly as they never can Perfect perfection is realization not thought not contemplation Perfection is everything labeled imperfect The only imperfect thing is the word its self © Christopher F.
