"Them Bones…"

How very precious
these jewels are.
I should really be
more mindful of
their value.
Each one
a stunning example;
the absolute perfect thing
for the moment in question.
They are,
without question,
the utterly flawless embodiment
of the Dharma
in action,
and should be
housed in
a stuppa of their own;
a reliquary that holds
the venerated remains
of a great and
eternal teacher.

Each mistake,
screw-up,
epic fail
and
face-plant
is
the perfect teacher
for the perfect moment.
