"People are seen through the stained
glass window of our imagination."
Erik Pevernagle
We hide our selves from others, but we still want to be seen. A certain level of recognition lifts our spirits, but too much attention is uncomfortable. A soothing balance is experienced with kindred spirits, calming atmospheres and uplifting experiences.
We view others with preconceived ideas or generalities, missing the personal spark they have to offer. It is when we truly listen to the message being spoken and open our hearts with nonjudgment that we become aware of individual essence.
Remove fear from exchanges and be amazed at the value shining out from others. Still the mind to be open in the present moment and discover a newness in each situation. We expand and deepen our relationships with compassionate eye contact, not by gazing through rose colored glasses.
