We are Perfection

We are Perfection

Among the wintergreen, taste reality.
Full moon, 5 wild turkeys,
salamanders, ants, spider webs,
owls, bald eagles,  fish and insect
Perfect harmony.
Smell Oxygen, 

so many trees.
Embraced in only this
Forest, pristine,
Perfect solitude.

Universal music,
Opening
richer then the greatest symphony,
a feast
greater than the most succulent buffet.
Water
flows over rocks,
Wind
in branches, notes and rests
Perfect timing.

A sun dappled face
sparkling pond
Human
even at finest, such a poor substitution.
This is reality,
not the tv news,
Facebook,
the selling, the buying,
Cash flow vs the flow of Creation
Perfect divinity.

We Choose,
Every minute of every day.
Look around,
how could this magnificence
possibly fit in a room,  or building
or one person.
Each and every one of us
Essence -- essential!
Glory,  the highest
Perfection abounds.

Yes, sometimes it feels
 impossible struggle,
just walking
through a blizzard with chances slim 

will make it home
Alive.
But then, too difficult to pass
Simple.
Why all the prejudice, oppression, Trouble?
Perfect harmony

The splendor,
Gifts Creator gives us
Sometimes we feel unworthy,
we say "oh no, no
I can't accept this".
Sometimes the opposite
we say "thanks
but what I really want and need is ..."
With every new gift comes responsibility.
Perfect service.

Just to be
Here and now
sufficient unto the day,
the hour,
the moment.
Nothing else
Perfect Love,  Wholeness,
Holiness,
One.
We are Perfection.
