Perfection
We are perfection
beyond judgement.
Without our flaws,
we would be invisible.
And so we are given flaws
in order to be seen,
in order to seem human.
Why would you
want to fix your flaws?
Do you seek
to become invisible?
The absence of flaws
is perfection.
The allowance of flaws
is perfection.
We are perfection,
regardless of whether
we want to be or not.
We are Space Monkey.

In this poetic meditation on perfection, we delve into the paradoxical nature of flaws and perfection, exploring how they intertwine to shape our understanding of ourselves and our existence.
Perfection Beyond Judgment:
We start by recognizing that perfection exists beyond the realm of judgment. This perspective shifts our focus from external validation to an intrinsic understanding of perfection as an inherent quality, unaltered by external perceptions.
Visibility Through Flaws:
We contemplate the idea that our flaws are what make us visible, what render us human. This thought challenges conventional notions of perfection, suggesting that it is our imperfections that define and distinguish us, not our idealized qualities.
The Purpose of Flaws:
Flaws are presented not as shortcomings but as gifts, essential elements that allow us to be seen and to exist within the realm of human experience. This reframing positions flaws as integral to our identity and existence, rather than obstacles to be overcome.
Questioning the Fixation on Flaws:
We query the desire to fix or eradicate flaws, positing that such endeavors might lead us towards invisibility, towards a loss of our unique essence. This perspective encourages acceptance and embracement of our flaws as part of our perfection.
Dual Nature of Perfection:
We articulate the dual nature of perfection: both the absence and the allowance of flaws constitute perfection. This duality underscores the idea that perfection is not a static state to be achieved but a dynamic and inclusive concept that embraces all aspects of our being.
Inherent Perfection:
We affirm that we are perfection, irrespective of our desire or recognition of this state. This assertion emphasizes the idea that perfection is an innate attribute, independent of our awareness or acceptance of it.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary:
We explore the notion that perfection is inherent and exists beyond judgment. Flaws are presented not as detriments but as essential elements that make us visible and human. We question the desire to fix flaws, suggesting that such efforts might lead to a loss of our unique essence. Perfection is understood as both the absence and the allowance of flaws, emphasizing that it is an innate attribute of our existence.

A Poetic Reflection on Perfection:
In the garden of being, where perfection blooms,
We wander, adorned with our unique plumes.
In flaws and grace, our true selves unfurl,
In this wondrous, imperfect, perfect world.
