You Are, I Am

Certainly, if perfection
is obtainable,

Then I am unobtainable...
for no one can be perfectly
me -- 

so, perfection, then, can be
imperfection -- perhaps, even
a God of all quality?

perhaps part of Divine perfection
is to simply free? Let His Creation
be...

fearing less anarchy

trusting in Greater Purity --

Its a balancing feat as I contemplate life quite Often Joe Dimino..' sometimes well get more Of a feel for things..' Yet all must be left to Inherit the 'new creation' even now we are close.)

I agree, Joe; the kingdom is near. Not easy to be in the world, before the earth's transfiguration, and not of it. The battle for dominion is constant. During the "Silence" (A daily practice of Christian Mysticism) I strive for oneness with the Godhead. This attempt at Mystic Union with the Father I have found a great source of strength and enlightenment. Prayer is powerful. When prayer is successful, a state of total surrender, heaven permeates every vessel of one's psychic and physical being. My experience anyway. If insanity?~ then I pray to forever remain so pixelated.

Then I am unobtainable... for no one can be perfectly me ...love that, Joe! When we realize all are imperfect we can find grace toward others

I absolutely agree with all the sentiments that you've so beautifully inked in this piece, dear Jo! Nothing can be more impeccable than the art, by our creator ~ it's the pristine peak perfectionism that describes us in uniquely imperfect ways..Every soul has a profound aura which distinguishes its existence from the others. Stunningly worded I always enjoy to immerse myself in the wisdom of your words. Keep writing and shining always, this one touched my heart. Sending you light & best wishes ~
