"Every broken heart has screamed at one time or another:
Why can't you see who I truly am?"
Shannon L. Alder
As I sat eating my dinner, I observed the man and woman several tables down from me. By watching their interactions, my suspicions were validated. Like my lovely self, these two people had aged which changed their appearance; however, their mannerisms remained the same. I had not seen them for over 24 years!
The state monitor of my contract had been reviewing my cases for eight years. As I sat across from her, I realized I had never really noticed the details of her face or the alignment. It was as though I was viewing her for the very first time. Ironically, I could have recited detailed information about her character, career, and personal life.
When we view an artist's canvas, we do not zero in on one particular aspect. Our attention drifts across the painting as we are impacted by content, color, and skill. By accepting the entire presentation, there is little room for judgment. It is also true in relationship. The yearning is always to be seen in depth, not just on the surface. "See me," is the lover's cry!
