Perfection

Balance.

December 20, 2015

‘Balance is a perfectionist ideal, never to be found in actual life. Therefore, it is not a good image to keep in mind. Rather, the soul’s complexity is achieved over time, through error and extreme. …That, I believe, is as it should be. We are guided by our emotions, by pain, by the feeling of going wrong. The point is to enter the mysterious complexity of the soul’s polytheistic structures, and not to arrive at some static point of perfect balance.’

~ Thomas Moore,
