Seeing

I want to live in a world that welcomes poets, mystics and lovers.   This would be a world that values people who see beyond the obvious, people who are not distracted by illusion and fantasy, people who penetrate to the hearts of matter.   For them it would be a routine and normal occurrence to want to see what is really present and who their companions really are.

I want to live in their world and be able to look behind the curtain of appearances and find the gold at the root of the mountains.   I want to be comfortable with and very aware of the unseen reality hidden in the flesh of my companions.

Perhaps if I learn to live in this world of people who see with their hearts, I may just be able to become one of them.
