truth

Who am I?

I am many things
Don’t put me in a bucket of you’re choosing
I am diverse, a little bit of a lot of things

I seek the truth wherever it lies
The truth about I like and don’t like

Even when I don’t like what I’m seeing
Even about me
I am that too

It’s easier to attach and be one thing,
to believe strongly in one thing.

But easy doesn’t reflect my true self,
nor the diversity of all things
So I am grateful.

With every change
Inner and outer

I grow more aware, knowing
I am
We are

One

In honor of the anniversary of my birth.

How You See

June 28, 2024 by Barbara

Humor me and look at this picture. What do you see? What is it? What could it be?

When a friend and I first saw this earring, it looked like a tiny figure with big ears.
Or maybe, I thought, a ceremonial figure with a headdress on.
“Odd choice for an earring,“ we thought.

Then, I turned it.

Suddenly, it looked like a rabbit. We laughed.
Which is right? Maybe either. Maybe neither.

What you think is dependent on your sensory input and experience. What you see depends on how and from where you’re viewing it. Your thoughts are limited by your perspective. It is not the whole truth. If we could remember this maybe we could stay curious.

And maybe we might learn something.
