musing upon the nature of perfection

 If I became perfect in the very next moment,

my body would no longer suffer,
my mind no longer struggle,
my emotions no longer anguish.
If I became perfect,
I could eat air
and do just fine
on a few gulps of sunshine.
If I became perfect
I could help everyone, with just a glance
or a word,
to become perfect too.
If everyone became perfect,
in the very next moment,
they could help me become perfect
every time I slipped from being
perfect.  But, of course,
If I became perfect,
I wouldn't need anyone's help,
because I would never slip from
my state of perfect grace.
That would be really perfect, wouldn't it?
Right?  Right?
Anyway, it is certainly possible to become perfect
in the very next moment.
I've heard of stranger things.  I've heard
that Jesus walked on water and that glue sniffing dogs can become celebrities in Hollywood.

Any kind of strange thing can happen.

I could become perfect.  You could become perfect.

In the very next moment.  I'm waiting....I’m waiting…..
I'm still waiting.
