We live each day wondering what
will happen, what has happened and what is happening, sometimes blinding
ourselves from the blessing and miracles around us. We blind ourselves when we
refuse to see with our heart and only wish to see with the eyes. As Gregory
Boyle quotes poet Rumi “Close both eyes to see with the other eye” (Boyle 133).
This is such a beautiful quote, its telling you that sometimes the eyes cannot
see it all and one has to simply close them so that they can see all that’s before.
The eyes may miss something that the heart can see. The heart although it may
not actually be able to see it feels and sometimes what you feel can enlighten
your vision, your sight, opening a new perspective, a new view. “We discover our
true selves in love”; Thomas Merton(Boyle 143). When we love something we are
capable of being our true selves. It is always said that where love is you can
be able to find yourself. Love is a miraculous thing that exists on this earth.
It is what makes us human without it we cannot survive. When we open our heart
to love we open a new side to us, we let ourselves experience something so
special, something so empowering and liberating. When follow your heart, you
are following the innerself within you. It is liberating when you are able to
embrace who you truly are and live and love unconditionally. Love is the
greatest tool we have. Love is never wrong, it is always right, it will find a
way or make one. “Admit something: everyone you see, you say to them, “love me.”
Of course you do not do this out loud; otherwise, someone would call the cops. Still
though, think about this, this great pull in us to connect. Why not become the
one who lives with a full moon in each eye that is always sating with that
sweet moon language what every other eye in this world is dying to hear”, Hafez(Boyle
17). We all yearn to be loved and to love someone or something, we as humans
crave this thing called love, it is what has brought us all onto this world. Without
love humanity would not exists, we would all perish in the hatred we have in
the world. A person who able to give and take love a person with a full plate,
however the one who cannot is one that is partially missing and one who cannot
see the world for all that it is. When we can let ourselves see with the eye we
have on our heart is when we start to see the world and all that is around us
for its true colors. Those who cannot are slowing dying inside yearning to be liberated
from the cage that they are within. When we are able to liberate ourselves and acknowledge
and show the light within us, we are allowing others to do the same. It only
takes one person, one person to have the courage to show the inner light for
the rest of us to do the same. We were all called to this world for a bigger
purpose, a purpose that ties us altogether, and that is love. Although, we may
not know every individual in this world we are all connected by love. The love
that lets us see the good in all and the flaws as well, but this love is able
to overcome all hardships and flaws. Love the third eye the one that liberates
the one that lets our true colors come out to play and shine through the
darkness that has been trying to conceal our beauty within and innerself.
