“For things to reveal themselves to us, we need to
be ready to abandon our views about them.”
― Thích Nhất Hạnh,
________________________________________________
sometimes I am so insightful I scare myself
its uncanny
really
how well I can read another person
how brilliant I am about what needs to happen in
our country
how I can know just what another person needs to
do
I mean I know
I know
that the guy over there
yes that one
is a loser
no doubt about it
he will never amount to anything
I know she is
an regulated mess
I know that relationship
will never work
and yet
the path behind me is littered
with insights gone awry
with situations that were nothing like they
seemed,
with sure winners
who faltered and failed
and total losers
who pulled it together and found a way
to grow, and flourish, and succeed
and how often have I trapped others
in my perception of them
how often have I defined them
wrongly
how often have i trapped myself in fear an anger
because of belief
I could not release?
and how often have I trapped others
in my perception of them

how often have i trapped myself in fear an anger
because of belief

perhaps
do you think
I need to
you need to…
we all need to let our eyes
be renewed?
Jesus eyes
Buddha eyes
Sacred eyes
humble eyes
loving eyes
compassionate eyes
eyes that know
there is more
much more
than they can see
