In the fun movie “School of Rock”, Jack Black tells his students that there are more important things than hitting every note. Rock ‘n’ roll ain’t about being perfect. Sometimes the important thing is the feeling, the passion, perhaps even the chaos.
“Perfect” is an abstraction, and if it ever really exists in this world, it must be fleeting. It’s an ideal, and while we might strive for it, measuring ourselves against it is a recipe for misery.
Instead, we can embrace ourselves, our practice, and the world as they are, with all their strangeness and uniqueness, in their state of being imperfect and incomplete, giving them our enthusiasm and our passion.
