Sarah Cooper called me out! Can you believe it? Little old me, this Mortgage Broker in Allentown, Pennsylvania...so innocent and so good? She said I was wrong. The freaking nerve! Ok, my SEO quota fulfilled and sarcastic self aside, my turn to retort to Active-Rain's Sweet Little Sarah.
I made mention in a recent post of something that has been on my mind since I was potty trained. Yes, I was 15 years old and wanted to find that one sentence, one paragraph, that explains the seemingly unexplainable. I wanted to find that something that explained life, and I wanted it to be real, sincere, and all encompassing in its concise state. I wanted it to be, well, Perfect.
It exists, this perfection I seek. Though, I haven't found or written that one sentence or paragraph...it's out there. Perfection exists, if even only one moment in the measurement of our reality called time.
Let's think about this. Well, I'll think about it, you can just read or unsubscribe to my blog. Have you witnessed Perfection? I have. It's attainable, very much so, if even one solitary second in our lives.
- In Our Profession, Real Estate, many of you may have experienced what I have been lucky enough to live. That transaction that from soup to nuts, from start to finish, went perfectly. Sometimes it takes a little bit of luck and always takes a whole lot of care and competence, but it exists...
- The World of Sports is a great example. How often has an athlete in their chosen sport, raced that perfect race, played that perfect game, lived that perfect season? It happens, just not much.
- And never forget that perfect song for the moment, that perfect answer to a question, that perfect irony to a situation. We are surrounded by perfection, we just don't live it enough.
Sure, we are fallible. We are human. We make more mistakes than O.J. Simpson on a bad batch of crack cocaine, well, maybe not that many. The point is, it is there for our taking. That sentence will surface. That paragraph will be written. Perhaps they (the unannounced spirits we seek), are awaiting our very end to this very journey.
Cooper, we probably have more agreement on this than a lack there of. Then again, I strongly believe in the power of words, the power of our mind (especially the large % we don't use for whatever reason). Life can be explained and summed up Perfectly, I'm sure of that. It just will never be lived that way...I'm sure of that as well.
I've never read Douglas Adams, he's probably never read me. 42? I always liked 13....
Tolstoy didn't do it, Shakespeare didn't do it. Morrison, Lennon, Blake, Fitzgerald, Sallinger, Dickinson, King, etc...probably never did it.
I will find that sentence, bring to light that paragraph, and when I do...it will explain the whole freaking thing called life. Or, I'll just sit back and be Perfectly Imperfect and write every once in awhile...
As far as two words.....Good Night:-)
