Around my 42 birthday I became a poet. Fourteen poems simply flowed from my heart onto the page. Not from me but through me. The art has been patiently waiting to be shared with you. Each poem is read twice. This is What is Perfect?

Perfect.

Be present.

Life is happening.

Can you see?

The food is plentiful,

Yet your plate empty.

Your deepest desire,

Already yours.

If you could only notice,

The world does not exist in your head.

Why be afraid?

Thought cannot hurt you unless you believe it is real.

The answer comes when the question is asked.

How could it not?

All the doing and fixing has no impact.

Feel the weight of burden slip from your shoulders.

The stories you create have never been true.

Show up.

Perfect is not a goal,

But a false description of a human being.

Perfect.

Be present.

Life is happening.

The food is plentiful,

Yet your plate empty.

Your deepest desire,

Already yours.

If you could only notice,

The world does not exist in your head.

Why be afraid?

Thought cannot hurt you unless you believe it is real.

The answer comes when the question is asked.

How could it not?

All the doing and fixing has no impact.

Feel the weight of burden slip from your shoulders.

The stories you create have never been true.

Show up.

Perfect is not a goal,

But a false description of a human being.
