Wide open...inviting us
to see much deeper
inside ourselves.
Wide open
full hearts
...like windows
to our souls
...beg our eyes to see
...beyond
...what we usually see
...and see
...what is...yet
to be discovered.

I think it was George Orwell who said something along the lines of 'one has to work pretty hard to notice what is right in front of one's nose.'
Rob,
You may be right. Regardless of who said it, it is very meaningful. Thank you.
Don
I just discovered you through Rob's blog.
You are amazing, you have perfected time travel. Your blogs aren't dated tomorrow, but two days into the future! I am in awe.
(got any stock market tips to shout back along the time continuum to those of us who lag behind?)
And in my experience, there really is a relationship between the physical window and the soul. It really does help to have a window with a view of something besides the neighbor's driveway.
Hayden,
How funny. Thanks for stopping by.
Stock tips? Buy low and sell high. Invest green; that is in environmentally-oriented businesses aand alternative energy companies.
Darius,
Thanks. Actually, any view will do if it opens to the sacred geometry of life.

still life in spring;
what you see is what you get,
if you look closely
Is there anything much deeper than physical reality? Is the mind not the creator of illusions?
Imemine,
Interesting question: "Is there anything than physical reality?"
There are different answers to that question, depending upon the philosophical worldview one adopts.
The materialists would say there is not because matter is the end and be all for everything, including mind.
The idealist would say that mind or spirit is deeper than matter. The extreme idealist would actually say matter is an illusion and mind is all that is real.
The dualists would say both matter and mind are separate and neither has precedence (is deeper) than the other.
The panpsychists would say that consciousness (mind or spirit) goes all the down and is present both mind and matter.
Illusion is a function of mind surely; but perhaps so is everything else, including what we might call non-illusion.
Some might also say that "what you get is what you see." That is what the idealist and the panpsychist would say. Mind (or consciousness) creates matter.
Thanks for stopping by.
Don
