The wise ones, self-proclaimed
and otherwise,
extol the gems
we’ll find tucked in the jagged places
of our lives.
They profess the riches we will
meet spelunking
in caliginous caves
of personal pain and diving the deepest
wells of our grief.
Starting with a broken heart
makes the trek
more meaningful,
the sages say, as if they know
we will not break
from anguish of the broken world
we darkly dwell
in every day,
but find, instead, an unobstructed oculus
to light the way.
Progress, not Perfection
