The Way We Look

How do we look at other humans? Do we tend to intuitively judge by outer appearance, clothes, gender, race, age, social status or do we recognize and embrace the spirit of God indwelling in them.
Though we all own a mirror in our judgement pocket we haven't always reflected what we see sometimes we reflect what we want and need and desire instead of what truly is. Acknowledging the true essence of the materialized human before us takes wisdom, insight and clear viewed
OMNIPRESENCE
Sometimes we look with our eyes but we do not truly see sometimes we look with our hearts but get lost at sea Don't judge a book by its cover they say but often, we skip the end Tell the truth at all times, tough the mirror does not lie, we use evasive techniques to shadow the body. we distort and then the image goes,
"MISSING"
In this all intrusive re-arranged world of ours it takes great courage to face the man and woman inside the mirror, if we cannot truly admit our misconceptions and preconceptions, then we won't be able to change our perception, its all about perspective and clear view, isn't it ? December 4, 2023

Hi Mystic Rose. Enjoyed your peom. It started me thinking. Seeing is believing. Seeing is deceiving. In mirror we see image. That is opposite of self. Left-handed becomes right-handed. Perhaps the cat is Schrodinger's cat. All the best. Tony

I look at this piece as an oppinionated comment. No different than I would look at a person. It's more journalistic than poetic.
