Perfection

The concept of being perfect just as you are is difficult to get your arms around when you first hear it.  I know I said RIGHT!...that sure is not what my Mom said and I surely know my faults as seen under my karmic magnifying glass.   But when you take time to really look at the concept, it gets a little more acceptable.  When everything is running smoothly and I have seconds of ease about health, family, future etc.. “Another beautiful day in paradise” acceptance, compassion, tolerance, etc. just flow.  I see the grass growing and smile with love as I pass by other travelers.  That is my perfect nature.  Don’t see it often but I know it is there.  What happens is that we cover our perfect self with the junk of judgment for ourselves and others, worry, fantasy, inner voices etc.. which are not our true self.  Our “self” is perfect it is what we choose to believe over perfect that gives us suffering.  So… We are here to end suffering.  If ending suffering is more important than anything, we will end suffering and be perfect.
