Perception is---anything




Lemme just throw this out there-- if only in the spirit of: have you 
thought 
this through, for yourself.

Is it not possible that *Perception is NOT everything*. --That there are 
NOT 
an infinite way to see anything- but, rather, one way that allows the 
greatest appreciation of the thing. Maybe not everything is relative, but 
absolute.

*Heresy! Run him off the list! Blasphemer of the sacred lessons of the 
Enlightenment!*

I notice this in putting a song together. Most of the time I settle with 
one 
of the infinite possibilities. But SOMETIMES I find that absolutely 
perfect 
thing [chord/word/sound/change] that had been there all along. What if 
everything is like that? That means that there would be MOST RIGHT thing 
to 
say to your girlfriend at a certain moment- as opposed to an infinite 
range 
of possible things. There would be the MOST RIGHT time to get pregnant, 
the 
right person to accompany you on your trip to Maui, the right song to play 
at the wedding gig, the RIGHT way to raise your kids...The RIGHT delay 
unit 
to buy... The RIGHT way to handle the rude clerk at the computer store...

Maybe it's not all cool/good. Maybe we need to search out the sublime. 
Maybe 
there are folks out there who've subconsciously joined in an effort to 
make 
us all think that there should be no standards-for anything. And maybe 
they 
are motivated by not wanting their limitations to be highlighted, next to 
excellence [excellence is the first thing to go when one believe that 
perception is everything]...
