Describe the Perfect Woman or Man.... (page 11)

There are women who look like that, for instance - Miss Universe, no? (or am I wrong?)

To each their own, I guess

I think Norah Jones kind of says it well in these words:

What am I to you?
Tell me darling true
To me you are the sea
Vast as you can be
Deep the shade of blue

"earthling" man/woman... the "perfect" man/woman is:

1. The one whose presence in your life adds TO it, not takes away from it.

2. The one that you can reside with without reservation, concern, or care. Happily. Truly, and not just "sort of" or "for the most part."

3. The one with whom life does not mean compromise of self, but fulfillment of self.

4. The one you CAN live without... but really would rather not, so that you are willing to give up a few things if necessary for his/her comfort and/or peace of mind (NOTE: If you have to give up everything, this is NOT the "perfect" man/woman, for such one wouldn't ask you to).

5. The one who makes walking though life just a little easier while a little more complex, and a little funner while a bit more subline and poignant.

One cannot say what such a person looks like, sounds like, feels like, smells like, BEFORE one has met such a person, as one as no idea what the particular package... "vessel"... that contains this particular spirit looks, sounds, feels or smells like. Trying to visualize such a creature is one of the MAJOR follies of earthling man. For we often cheat ourselves out of a good thing because we concern ourselves with what is on the OUTSIDE to the point of blinding ourselves to what is on the INSIDE... to our own detriment.

Not all good things come in pretty packages: the fact is, some very "undesirable" packages hold "teasure" so beautiful, even the most precious stones are not worthy of the contents. We are a fragile species, and if our genes don't do it, age and infirmity will eventually render us all "undesirable."

TRUE love is beautiful... no matter the vessel that offers it.

I bid you all peace.

A slave of Christ,

Perfect Woman

by William Wordsworth

S HE was a phantom of delight
When first she gleam'd upon my sight;
A lovely apparition, sent
To be a moment's ornament;
Her eyes as stars of twilight fair;	5
Like twilight's, too, her dusky hair;
But all things else about her drawn
From May-time and the cheerful dawn;
A dancing shape, an image gay,
To haunt, to startle, and waylay.	10

I saw her upon nearer view,
A Spirit, yet a Woman too!
Her household motions light and free,
And steps of virgin liberty;
A countenance in which did meet	15
Sweet records, promises as sweet;
A creature not too bright or good
For human nature's daily food;
For transient sorrows, simple wiles,
Praise, blame, love, kisses, tears, and smiles.	20

And now I see with eye serene
The very pulse of the machine;
A being breathing thoughtful breath,
A traveller between life and death;
The reason firm, the temperate will,	25
Endurance, foresight, strength, and skill;
A perfect Woman, nobly plann'd,
To warn, to comfort, and command;
And yet a Spirit still, and bright
With something of angelic light.	30
