“I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection.
Excellence, I
can reach for excellence,
but perfection is God's business.” Michael J. Fox
A wonderful insight from Michael J. Fox, no doubt spoken from his experience with MS. The flower depicts and emotes perfection, right down to the water droplets. What happens when our imperfect lives touch on the perfection of nature? How is it that we who are imperfect have this idea of perfection and know and feel it when we see it? The Quakers love to say that God is at work in us perfecting us with his love. No matter how incapable we are in ourselves of perfection, when we share that love, it blooms in the world in a perfect way. Others certainly know and recognize it.
