What I see is often different from what is really going on.
ow can I know what someone else is thinking?
How can I now what causes the conclusions they draw?
It is tough enough to know what I am doing in certain situations.
So, when I see something going on, I must back off a little to realize that it is a combination of what everyone in the situation is seeing and doing.
That is a lot of input!
It is coming from totally different situations and awarenesses.
So, what can I do to see through all the opinions and mental contradictions?
I can breathe deeply and go within.
It takes only a moment.
I can pause for as long as I need to, and then listen before I take another step.
The calm atmosphere I draw on this way, places me in a different context from my opinions from a moment ago.
I can see and hear clearly.
That is almost enough for now.
As I stay in this calm space, I may be directed to do something.
I may find myself gently moving in a particular direction.
At any rate, the calmness that I choose is the reality.
It is always there, despite all the illusion of activity.
