To See


I wish I could look in the mirror and see what you see.

I wish I could see you as you are.

I wish I could see this world as you see it.

-

I’m locked inside this body, this limited frame of reference.

I can’t see from above or behind.

I’m unaware of the bigger picture playing out.

-

What I see is what I see.

It’s not necessarily accurate, nor true.

It is merely my perception

-

Where I’m standing

What I’ve experienced

Who I’ve become

-

Help me hold my views with open hands.

Help me accept my undeniable limitations.

Help me to judge rarely, slowly, and with great humility.
