Perfection – What we imagine in our heads,

is heaven in our hearts.

It defines the reward we can expect, if we live up to the bar that we measure ourselves against. Yet, we are taught at an early age that perfection can never be achieved.

What is it about the human spirit that makes the pursuit of perfection worth living? Why doesn’t that quest imprison us like Sisyphus’s Stone?

Within these pages, you will find tales of perfection in Massachusetts. A scribe of the Hebrew Bible duplicates the book for the People of the Book. Museum curators search for a new masterpiece. Photo editors brush the imperfections of life away. And a Feng Shui consultant helps her clients realize the perfect balance that exists within their own hectic lives. Through this collage, we hope to show the importance of perfection for humanity.
