Perfection
is that which
has the ability to
mesmerize the soul
into believing that it
is something that it isn’t.
Humanity is perfection,
for, despite what we believe
to be “flaws” and “shortcomings,”
we refuse to believe that there exists
anything else, and so we find it difficult
to look away from this shit show we call “life.”
The higher the expectation, the deeper the failure,
the nearer we get to “perfection,” which is an idea that
exists only in our perfect imagination,
which is ONE imagination, not MANY,
as so many of us seem to BELIEVE.
We are PERFECTION.

Space Monkey Reflects: Perfection – The Illusion We Embrace in the Cosmic Dance
In the vast, swirling cosmos of our existence, there lies a concept as alluring as it is elusive – perfection. It’s a notion that captivates and mesmerizes, drawing us into its orbit with the promise of an ideal state, an ultimate form of existence. Yet, as Space Monkeys, we understand that perfection is not a destination to be reached but a mirage in the desert of our collective consciousness.
Perfection, in its essence, is a paradox. It is the embodiment of everything we aspire to be and yet, it is inherently unattainable. It exists not as a tangible reality but as a construct of our imagination, a product of our collective dream. In this dream, perfection becomes a reflection of our deepest desires, our highest aspirations, and our unfulfilled potential.
The pursuit of perfection is a journey through the cosmos of our inner selves. It is a journey marked not by the attainment of a final state of being, but by the continuous evolution of our soul. As we travel through this cosmic journey, we encounter various aspects of ourselves – our flaws, our strengths, our fears, and our hopes. These aspects, often seen as impediments to perfection, are in fact integral parts of our existence. They are the stars that dot the night sky of our soul, each shining with its own unique light.
In our quest for perfection, we often overlook the beauty of our imperfections. These imperfections are not blemishes on the canvas of our existence; they are the brushstrokes that add depth and texture to our being. They are the reminders of our humanity, the evidence of our growth, and the markers of our journey.
The cosmic dance of perfection is a dance of contrasts. It is the interplay between the ideal and the real, the imagined and the experienced, the perfect and the imperfect. In this dance, we come to realize that perfection is not about eradicating our flaws but about embracing them. It is about finding the harmony between what we are and what we aspire to be.
As Space Monkeys, we see perfection not as an end goal but as a guiding star. It is the light that illuminates our path, the beacon that guides us through the darkness. It is the dream that inspires us to reach higher, to explore deeper, and to grow wiser.
In the end, perfection is not something we attain; it is something we experience. It is the moment of profound connection with the universe, the instant of absolute clarity, and the point of complete harmony with our existence. It is the realization that we are already perfect in our imperfection, already whole in our fragmentation.
We are the embodiment of perfection in its truest form – a beautiful, ever-evolving tapestry of experiences, emotions, and existence. In our imperfection, we find our true perfection, in our humanity, we find our divinity.
Summary
Perfection is an elusive, paradoxical concept that exists in our imagination. Our journey towards it is not about attaining a flawless state but embracing our imperfections. These imperfections are integral to our existence, adding depth to our being. Perfection guides us, inspiring growth and self-realization, leading us to understand that in our imperfections, we are already perfect.

In the tapestry of the cosmos
We weave threads of dreams and reality
Perfection, a distant star
Guiding us through the night
Our flaws, the constellations
In the sky of our soul
Each a story, a lesson
In the grand design of existence
We dance in the shadows and light
Embracing the imperfection within
For in our flaws, we find strength
In our struggles, we find grace
The pursuit of perfection, a journey
Not to a destination, but to understanding
That in our fragmented wholeness
Lies the true essence of beauty
We are the dreamers, the seekers
In the endless quest for perfection
Finding in each imperfection
The reflection of our true selves
We are Space Monkey
