Can you believe what you are seeing?
~ Trudy Johnston
Can you believe what you are seeing?
or are you seeing what you believe?
Sitting, looking at the wall
I can see how often
I fail to see what is literally
directly in front of me.
I fail to see the gift that life is,
how it includes
every single thing
that is in it.
How what I’m seeing is always a flow
of flux and change,
that I am an integral part of,
not separate.
Instead I see what I want,
or to make things solid,
or to be as they were,
or as I want them to be.
Many years ago, a guru
taught me,
“The world is as you see it.”
Now I want to see it as it is.
Can I believe what I’m seeing?
I want to, I want to wake up to
the magnificent perfect
mess we live in, the marvelous miracle
of lives lived with love and care
and error.
Life as a love song to itself.
Can we believe what we are seeing?
