The Same World

The same world:

it's the same world - and from every view we return to a single point of origin. Here, we all belong as seer, and share a common bond of grief and celebration, joy and every sorrow. We know life together. It's how we truly see the world, seamless, awareness shared between us.

we see the same world.

only our perspective is unique to us alone, a filter of beliefs that color each view. What we first see is the original world, one innocent of our concern, without bias or label. This is the metaphor of the garden, our first glance of Eden, a view full of wonder to all that's found. We believe ourselves exiled from this original world, forced by knowledge to discriminate what's seen as useful or not, beautiful or ugly, everything divided by seeming worth and value. 

yet our every glance reveals the garden.

our first look is always one of innocence, seen strictly from the garden, and not yet touched by our concerns. This is how we see, everything in first light, new and full of wonder. We know things without bias, our sorrow is pure, and our joy found deep. Everything belongs without judgement of its stay. This is all the same world - from original view, to the later sight believed as true. The only difference is our belief that only one is real. 

both belong within a single view.

this is the paradox that we accept, that everything is seamless, shared in grace - and too it comes divided, our daily affairs give cause for things seen different, as if a separate world. Both belong within this single view, one world through varied guises, and perspectives all our own. But we know our common origin, that we see from a single point together...

seer and seen, found seamless.
