Point of Perfection

It was strange to step out from the story

of bumbling incremental progress

under tutelage of experts

in every undertaking we aspired to master

It was breathtaking

and hard to believe

we could progress

from the point of perfection,

lovely always, in everything we do

It seemed almost unfair

but we got used to it —

we attained it in one area

and then expanded

And found there still is plenty

of space to learn and grow,

starting from here

where we are good and worthy,

starting from here

where we are humble and perfect,

where we begin right

and so continue.
