A Wide Open Gate

 


It is quite simple you see
we see what we want to see
from the ocean waves to the forest trees

Each day becomes what we choose to believe

For perspective is a wide open and closed up gate
It is magic and miracles or cynical and fake
for some know doubt and others know faith

So today I choose to see great things!

Linking with the Sunday Muse for Muse #194
Come join us!

  4. We see what we want to see. So true. Takes us a while to figure out, and choose what we want to focus on. I am seeing that in how my angst over the climate crisis is turning to gratitude for what is. I prefer the peacefulness and cant fix world leaders anyway. Smiles.

    1. That is what I love about your poetic voice Sherry. It is full of appreciation and focusing on what beauty there is to hold and save!

  5. Words of wisdom, Carrie. Today, I choose to see great things, like a blue sky on a winter day where I can see the mountains in the distance. There is beauty in that.

    Wishing you a wondrous day, Dear Carrie

    Love your sensible way of seeing things Carrie! We just bother ourselves with things that matter and don't waste time on unimportant or fake things. That's the way to survive with the carry-over of matters from 2021.

  11. For years, a small slatee hung in my kitchen. It said "Count blessings. Choose happy". I packed it away when I moved, but I carry it's message with me always. Each day offers a choice......
