How do you see with the eyes of wholeness?

What spiritual trick is there to open that window?

No trick that I can find, but perhaps

the most important step is the first:

simply open your eyes and look,

really look, at yourself.

I ask myself if I am acting with integrity and kindness–

hard skills to hold on to in these challenging times.

Am I speaking truth with kindness?

Am I saying what is necessary

for me to hear before speaking truth to others?

Perhaps the most spiritual thing any of us can do

is to look through our own eyes

and into the eyes of another

who sees a different world.
