The “ brown eye ” within us sees the troubles of the world and complains about them ; sees life ’ s perpetrators and yearns to inflict them with “ justice ” … It sees everyday things as “ boring ”, unattractive things as “ ugly ”, and inappropriate things as “ bad ”.
Our “ blue-gray eye ”, however , sees the same Reality very differently … For this eye , the world ’ s troubles become opportunities to Care ; our enemies , priceless chances to Forgive … With this vision , nothing is “ boring ” or “ ugly ” or “ bad ” — everything we see is Seen for the first time ; everything we see is new and amazing and full of promise & Beauty .
In every moment of our precious lives we each have a choice as to how we will See the Life we have been given … And how we choose to See that moment will determine what we then choose to Do ( or not Do ) with it .
Love sees as the wind ; ever-flowing & ever-giving & ever-amazed . So … got Love ?
“ At any moment , you have a choice that either leads you closer to your Spirit – … or further away from it .” ~ Thich Nhat Hanh
( P . S . Our ability to See is almost as important as our ability to choose . It ’ s an amazing world out there , my Friends . Please choose to SEE it … … and then please choose to act accordingly .)
