Seeing is not believing
the eye deceives
witnesses notoriously
unreliable.
I see myself
through a multitude
of mirrors
one for each mood.
Most are distorted
a fun house delight
no clarity of vision
no reality check.
What others see
is not my reality
instead a shard
I choose to display.
Who is to say which
is the true vision
of my wholeness
my being?
I cannot expose
that which I am
unable to see
in myself.
I keep searching
pursuing
the vision
the sight.
I’ve decided to participate for the first time in #blogElul, which I have followed for a few years. I’ve never had the courage to get my feet wet – this year, I’m jumping into the deep end of the pool! Check out some of the amazing themed posts geared around the work and joy of Elul – of introspection and reflection in the days leading to the High Holy Days (Organized by Ima Bima.) You can read last year’s and this year’s #blogElul posts via the Elul tag.
