I see you

“I am here to be seen”

“I see you”

“I too am here to be seen”

“And I see you”

             

(A greeting based on the Zulu greeting Sawubona –from The Little Book on Meaning, Fortgang p. 93)

Everybody longs to be seen

really seen

not judged

not labeled based on externals

(that have little to do with who they really are)

not put into categories, nice an neat

or rated

but really seen

physically, yes,

but also heart and mind and soul

seen for who we really are,

beloved child of God

for who we are,

person with a mission

for who we are

in the deepest place where the space between the Sacred

and us, gets thinner and thinner,

and ultimately disappears

this day may I see those the Sacred puts in my path

may I see

and be seen
