A Glimpse of Glory
The irony is evident:
This vision of perfection
passes before our eyes,
unnoticed.
We think our lives to be the goal.
Without our knowing,
We suppress our raison d’être:
To become.
Suddenly we pause, we listen, we see!
In ecstacy, we stand transfixed,
Yearning for the soul’s perfection,
Having glimpsed our Truth.

Superbly evocative of that rare moment of “aha!” that has been the goal of enlightenment seekers since time began. Lovely.

You’re right – we claim to look for perfection, but we seem to see only flaws.
P.S. I love sunlight-through-clouds pictures and look to take them whenever I can. They always feel like some kind of revelation!

Very nice. It’s too true that perfection is often right in front of us without our realizing it.
