Treasures and blindness

(Thursday, January 14, 1999)

What we take for granted, someone else thinks is beautiful. What we want to get rid of is someone else's treasure. Sometimes we stand so close to something dear that we cannot see that it is dear.

Our lack of awareness robs us of what we assume is ours forever. We have many eyes, but most are closed or glazed over.

The eyes of the mind and spirit perceive far more than our physical eyes will ever see. The eyes of our hearing detect sound, but also feelings and attitude - and the music of the spheres. When we touch something, we not only feel but we also see the gentleness or the harshness, the depths and the heights.

No, we are never blind except when we close ourselves off and deny the very Spirit of Life.

Give heed, my child, lift up your eyes, behold the One who has brought you life.

Peace, Tawanka
