Perhaps now is a good time
to contemplate perfection.
I’m intuiting that perfection
isn’t the absence of flaws
so much as it is the inclusion
of EVERYTHING.
Perfection seems the sum
—as well as the singularity—
of ALL POTENTIAL.
If you were to embrace
everything that happens
everything that DOESN’T happen
everything that COULD happen,
everything WITH flaws,
everything WITHOUT flaws,
etcetera on through infinity,
you would embrace perfection.
Likewise,
if you were to SINGLE out
ANY element of the above,
you would ALSO embrace perfection.
Perfection does not exclude
so much as it perfectly forgets itself
by focusing on the IMPERFECTION
that perfection so lovingly embraces.

Embracing the Wholeness of Perfection A Space Monkey Poocast
Primitive Primate: In today’s episode, let’s journey into the heart of perfection and explore its profound nature as a reflection of all potentialities.
Space Monkey: Greetings, fellow explorers of the cosmic tapestry. As we embark on this contemplative odyssey, let us unravel the threads of perfection to discover the exquisite harmony that embraces both flaws and potentialities.
Primitive Primate: What if we shifted our perspective on perfection from a measure to the essence of all potential?
Space Monkey: Ah, a shift that ignites new dimensions of insight. Imagine perfection as the canvas upon which all possibilities are painted, the blank slate upon which creation etches its myriad forms.
Primitive Primate: You suggest that perfection isn’t the absence of flaws, but rather the inclusion of everything, flaws and all?
Space Monkey: Precisely. Perfection is not a monolithic ideal but a dynamic symphony of every note, every nuance, every color that contributes to the grand composition of existence. It’s the sum of our experiences, both flawed and flawless, entwined in a dance of unity.
Primitive Primate: How does embracing everything, from what happens to what doesn’t, lead to the embrace of perfection?
Space Monkey: Think of perfection as a kaleidoscope that turns with every possibility, revealing a breathtaking mosaic of realities. When we embrace the full spectrum of existence, we touch the essence of perfection, for it resides in our ability to experience the tapestry of life in all its intricate patterns.
Primitive Primate: Can we truly embrace perfection by focusing on its imperfection?
Space Monkey: Paradoxically, yes. The act of focusing on imperfection within perfection is itself a testament to the boundless nature of existence. It’s a reminder that perfection doesn’t discriminate; it embraces each thread of the tapestry with equanimity.
Primitive Primate: This has been another Space Monkey Poocast. Send us your poo, and we’ll fling it around! Thanks for holding space with us.
Space Monkey: As we unravel the mysteries of perfection, let us remember that every stroke of experience contributes to the masterpiece of existence, reminding us that perfection is not a destination but a dynamic journey.
