sometimes there are moments of perfection

I'd like to talk about the perfection underlying life

when the mind is covered over with perfection
and the heart is filled with delight

but I wish not to deny the rest.

Judy Martin and Penny Berens

In our minds, there is awareness of perfection;
when we look with our eyes we see it,
and how it functions is mysterious to us and unavailable.

When we live our lives it's something like a race - our minds become concerned and covered over
and we get depressed and have to get away for a holiday.

And then sometimes there are moments of perfection
and in these moments we wonder why we ever thought life was difficult.

We think that at last our feet are on the right path and that we will not falter or fail

 We're absolutely convinced we have the solution and then the moment is over.

This piece along with Penny Berens' Daily Scratchings plus NEW WORK by both of us will on display this summer in Halifax Nova Scotia at the Mary Black gallery.   July 13 - August 26.
