Furthermore: Nonperfection and Beyond

When perfection
Is pursued
Your mind
You undelude

For you
Come to see
It's attainment
Is an impossibility

Therefore
You are not
Fooled
By mutton dressed up as lamb

You do not
Conclude
That too good to be true
Can be had

You don't
Fall for ads
That promise
Perfect abs

You do not envy
Those
Who win lotteries
Or own big homes

You know that
That way
Does not perfect
The wayward world

You cannot fix
This wonky wheel
The way to deal with Samsara
Is to abandon it!

Fundamentals: Imperfection to Nonperfection

Practicing perfection
I remain
Concentrated upon
Imperfection

And today
I am
Truly blessed
With myriad imperfections

Nausea
Fatigue
A migraine headache
Of considerable intensity

Gloomy weather
Damp and rainy
Slate grey sky
Clouds churning by

Pain in the shoulders
Pain in the head
So much to do
And I'd rather be in bed

This imperfection
So easy to find
It's a wonder
I did not see it before

It fills up
My awareness
Til I see
Nothing more

And then finally,
I smile
As I rest in nonperfection
For a while
