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 ?

Tony Hargreaves Date: 1/5/2023 8:38:00 AM 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 Login to Reply
