Seeing

Whether I choose to focus my attention on beauty or conflict, wherever I look in this world I am resonating with myself.



And whoever I blame for the problems I see - their capitalism or their socialism, their political party or their religious creed, their economic class, their color, or their whiteness - I am really blaming a shadow of myself, some aspect of my own humanity that I have not forgiven.

I see another's actions, but I cannot see their motives. The motives I ascribe to their actions reflect the quality of my heart, not theirs.
