Seeing With Our Heart

When we are children it is our innocent heart that guides us…that opens our eyes…to the beauty and wonders that surround us…that teaches us how to fly.

As we grow older our mind joins our heart in guiding us…in perfecting how we fly…
but often our heart and mind are at odds…they don’t always see eye to eye.

(Sometimes I wonder if that’s why we were created with two eyes…and why those eyes are kept apart…one eyes connects to our mind…the other to our heart.)

Then comes a time when we are older….with our hearts and minds now open wide…when we realize we were better off with but a single guide…

A time when our mind has evolved….
and this wisdom is happy to impart:
How we will see more beauty in the world…
when our eyes are guided by our heart.
