Seeing With Your Heart

The gift of sight

(16 October 2011)

Seeing - what a beautiful thing!

Seeing through the lens of love - even better!

There is a woman, she works at a local store. For three years now I've been watching her, seeing her. The first time I noticed her she looked bedraggled & forlorn, packing parcels, her eyes cast down. I saw her again this week & that's when I realised that I'd been documenting her beauty in my mind. Her hair is died a dark brown now, & through her journey of bandaged brokenness, the loud eyeshadow made its way to her eyelids, red painted nails & plastic beads adorn her beautiful gentle soul. I'm always happy to see her. I want to photograph her.

In loving vision, 
me.

There are no limits to who you are and what you can achieve Giant Healer by Kleoniki Vanos How far can you go?   Most of us grew up with these songs, but have we ever really listened and understood? Frank Sinatra - Fly me to the Moon Fly me to the moon Let me play among the stars Let me see what spring is like On Jupiter & mars In other words, hold my hand In other words, darling, kiss me Fill my heart with song And let me sing for ever more... Diana Ross - It's my turn I can't cover up my feelings In the name of love Or play it safe For a while that was easy And if living for myself Is what i'm guilty of Go on & sentence me I'll still be set free It's my turn To see what I can see I hope you'll understand This time's just for me Because it's my turn With no apologies I've given up the truth To those I've tried to please But now it's my turn If I don't have all the answers At least I know I'

  The Beginning of Something New Sing... sing a song such as has never been heard before! #084 by  Kleoniki Vanos Make this big gesture outside of yourself... raise your arms and reach for the sky, wave your hands, do a dance and be energised by this physical manifestation of victory. The victory of finding yourself and embracing your authenticity in this cosmos of living and breathing life! Every moment...now...now! is growing towards you loving you! Trust that your life has a purpose and that every moment is moving towards the unveiling of a masterpiece that is you! Compromise is not an option, there is only ONE you! Selfishness does not mean the embrace of individuality, but the denying thereof! When I make room for myself there will be room for others. Something new is happening and you are already part of it.

You are Valuable

There is great value in each of us. A sheet of paper, it's potential is endless!  The creative process begins, but it doesn't take on the form that was imagined, so it gets crumpled up & aimed at the bin. Missed. Oh well.  Someone walks by, sees the discarded piece of paper & ignores it - "That's someone else's problem."  Another person walks by, notices the paper, but gets distracted; "I don't have time for this."  And yet another person walks by & from somewhere, a whisper is heard; "More than you think." This is enough to inspire a stop and a bend down to retrieve the crumpled piece of paper... What does he see when he unfolds the paper & irons out the creases?  A signed Picasso doodle?  A child's impression of a happy moment?  A lost treasure map?  A lovers note? That which would make you feel like you have discovered a priceless treasure, could be on the discarded paper! There is Great Val
