     As  finite creatures we cannot be and do all that  we
can imagine being and doing.  We are limited to being  and
doing in some particular ways, but not in others. There is
only a limited amount of time,  energy and attention which
we can commit; no more.

     If  we are prone to perfectionism,  we may wonder  if
who we are and what we are doing is right;  the best.   We
may  feel  insecure in being and doing in  our  particular
way,   wondering  if another way might have  been  better;
meriting more respect,  affirmations,  and acceptance.  We
may wonder if we are being perfect in our being and doing;
and fret about other ways we might have been and done.

     We  may not be happy and joyful in being and doing in
our own particular way;  feeling it is not enough to avoid
being and doing in bad,  evil and offensive ways.  We  may
feel that we are not right with the world and God,  unless
we  succeed  in being and doing in the best way  possible;
meeting some unarticulated standard of perfection which we
cannot meet because we do not know it perfectly.

     If  such is our circumstance, we need to accept God's
gift of Love within which we can truly be ourselves,  know
ourselves, and feel comfortable in being true to ourselves
and  to  each  other.  Honestly being together in  a  true
community which cooperates  in promoting both personal and
communal integrity is enough. We truly need no more.
