First, watch this video. Just follow the directions from the narrarator.
So, did you see the "moonwalking bear" the first time. I was clueless -- i did not see it and could not believe i had missed it. And that is the point of the video. We see what we are looking for...or another way to say it is that we see what we want to see.
Which brings me to the question: What are you looking for? Who are you looking for?
Do you only have eyes for the things you want to see or are you aware of all that is around you?
What about the things that desperately need to be seen but are missed not just by you but by many others. And instead of "things" insert "people." Are there people out "there" that need someone to notice them because they are hurting?
Now when i go back and watch the "Moonwalking Bear" video i can't NOT see the bear. It is impossible. So, if you start looking for these people & things -- you will start to see them. There is no way that you won't see them.
Make yourself aware. Make yourself mindful.

Intentionality plays a level in what we see as does character. I'm not sure how to parse these out at the moment. What does intentionality allow us to see that slothfulness does not? Yet I'm also curious what character, having a certain sort of virtue about us, allows us to see that other people with different character (whether less or more virtue than us) can not see? Not sure. Your post did get my mind going on that. Interesting question. Thanks for churning my thoughts here JP by sharing yours. Talk soon. BM
ReplyDeleteFor some reason, the moonwalking bear reminds me of the cowardly lion at Gatlinburg.
