Beth Kempton actually loves the word perfect. In fact, she uses it often. However, when she does it’s in regard to a moment. She savors those “perfect” moments in time.
“The tiniest slice of time can hover, shimmering in momentary stillness.”
This reminds me of our hummingbirds- a moment in time, no longer. I eagerly anticipate their return next season, but appreciate more the fleeting of their visits. You must capture the moment to the fullest knowing their presence is impermanent.
It is these moments we must treasure in their simplicity, and guard against not paying enough attention during the moment. If we spend all our time focused on what comes next we truly miss out on the here and now.
It is important to not only open our eyes, but our heart and mind to the beauty that surrounds us. We need to love, “Our perfectly imperfect life.”
