Imperfect (Alive)

from Livestreams in Quarantine vol. 2 by Xibling

lyrics

The goal is not perfection, but presence.
If you face the wild void,
with eyes ablaze in wonder,
and a fluid, alive will,
and you realize it’s perfect already,
and there is nothing for you to do here,
Then you are free to be nothing
along with the everything that is nothing more.

humbly I suggest
experimenting
with facing that blank paper,
that unknown future,
expansive outer (or inner) landscape
and admit that it is perfect
(which only means that it IS)
and admit that you mean nothing
Nothing that could ever possibly exist

there is no holding back
there is no holding back
there is no holding back
the creative/destructive
creative/destructive
force inherent to life

Perfection is not something
for mortals to concern themselves with
We are too alive. We are too alive.
We are too alive.
We are too creative/destructive to bother
There are so, so, so many more
interesting intangibles
To engage with in this earthly life.

there is no holding back
there is no holding back
there is no holding back
the creative/destructive
creative/destructive
force inherent to life
