"Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside awakens." ( Carl Jung)
Eyes piercing outward - those looking glasses.
Such are not wanderers
adrift in directionless thought, a dream-state we associate with sleep.
These eyes see more than mirrored reflections playing on surfaces glittering and gleaming; they interpret snapshots of existence taken every moment pulsating by.
You gaze yonder - their focus fixated outwards -
yet within you stirrs an awareness unseen;
Radiant as a sunbeam slicing through morning mist or midnight's cloak.
Awake! Awake!
Out there is kinetic motion:
a child giggling while chasing crumpled leaves carried on autumn's breath,
an elderly couple sharing wisdom-laden smiles over well-sipped coffee cups. It animates life!
Then pause...be present here dear friend...
Within - ah yes- there lies another kindle for your contemplation: like silent notes composing melodies unsung-
the furnace born from passion unquenched attends to its own growing flame.
So look ahead fearlessly into this stellar orbit arranged before us my brave voyager but do remember -
The Beauty outside seeds life abundant , yet it's the nurturing warmth nestled inside that births our vivacious spirit . Heed her whispers ...
heed them
