perfection


One of the most fascinating things in life is seeing a master at work. I recall a movie which showed Picasso creating a painting. It is magic to see someone great at the top his game. And the other night I saw a baseball game that showed that. Greg Maddux, one of the best pitchers ever pitching a flawless game. It was a beautiful thing to watch. It was amazing seeing how one guy was so overwhelming that the other team simply couldn't react. It was a performance as perfect as they come. It was artistry as great as seeing a painter, an actor, a musician at his best. One wishes to reach at least once in lifetime a moment of being so in tune with everything, a moment of Zenlike purity. I'll probably never reach that. But the other night I saw someone achieve it.
