What do you see?

So what do you see?

Triangles?
Squares?
Diamonds?
Bars
Blue lines....

How often do we look at every day things and not really see them.  Not see the patterns, the lights, the smaller details of the things that are around us.  

How often do we look at ourselves and not see ourselves?

Do we deny who we really are in order to keep the peace?  To make ourselves more acceptable to others?  We all do.  We know we do this in order to move through life more peacefully.  We become to tired to try and explain ourselves constantly to people who either don't care or will never understand....

So we slowly lock away pieces of our soul until we don't recognise ourselves.

And our soul is stuck on the other side of those bars... the light trying to get out and show our true self to the world.. if only we would let it. 

(PS What do you see... that is my view when I sit at my desk every morning.... )

“The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible” 
– Oscar Wilde

Its a great shot! Is it burglar bars, with blinds behind them? A security gate with blue blinds, backlit?

    You reach a point of accepting that you made mistakes,
    they cost you dearly and that you can't change the past.
    At that point you stop raging against your history,
    accept it,
    and move forward
    ​into a calmer, less self destructive frame of mind.
