 Life feels less threatening when we back away. Wild animals feel safer when they're in a zoo, trees are safer in parks, and art is safer in museums, behind glass. But we pay a high price for our safety, don't we? We will never know what a wild animal really is if we only see it in a zoo, trees can never be fully trees in a park, and contemplative art must be experienced intimately, up close and personally.

We do pay a high price. Everyone one of us who chooses not to see what we really are. Generally, the majority sees individuals as generic forms of societal stereotypical ideas of what we never were, only what they wanted us to be. The world wants our reality like TV does reality, fake and pretty. This only disillusions us further from the truth. I don't know if I ever told you this Doug, but during my thesis you made me look at my own truth with a hard eye of reason. To dig deeper into what exists as truth and journey. And for that I can never thank you enough. Thank you. Leave a Reply. |
