I am a recovering perfectionist. Certainly this piece speaks to that. However, at the time I wrote this, I was coming to grips with the fact that I will never be completely healed. In religious circles we like stories of people who are heal-ed, as in, they have completed their healing. I was realizing that I would have large scars, and even wounds that will likely not be heal-ed in this life. However this piece may speak to you, I hope it encourages you to practice better-ness.

Perfect Progress
Perfect Penmanship
Perfect Piano Performances
Perfect Playtime
Perfect Parallel to Jesus
Perfect Little Person

Perfect is hard
it is rigid and cold-hearted
Perfect is impossible
it is unrealistic and inplausable

Why pursue perfection?
To provide a point, a target, and a purpose, they say
But to pursue merely the point and purpose of pure perfection
is a bit of pessimism
Always seeing the slip
the blunder
the mistake

Better Boosts
Better Beautifies
Better Begins
Better Brings
Better Balms and Balances

Better boasts not
Because Better knows
it is soft
undefined
and intimate

Perfection Pushes and Pleads
Better Beckons and Breathes

Better searches out
and calls to me

to try again
to not give up
to hold onto Hope

that I will continue
to get Better
