The big picture.

          Can you see whats going on? Can you see in front of you? What do you see in the mirror? Do you get the big picture? Can you see your eyes? Now look at your mouth. Do you see it? Do you see your feet? No you don't. You do not get the big picture. Picture your car. What color is it? Do you see the engine? No, you don't! You see a section of the paint on the car. When I bring your attention to it, in a moment you may see what you construe as the engine. Or imagine as the engine. Digression. Spoiler alert: Most of you do not know what the inside of an engine looks like.
          Get it yet? I'm still working on it. The big picture that is. I try to see where we are going. It's like the Forest and tree example. I can't see the forest for the tree. I can only see the trunk of the tree. Then when I look up I forget the trunk and see the leaves. Should I try to look at a particular leaf I will see it as I imagine it. I will not see it as it is. I will not see the branches. Then I may lose track of the tree for the forest. And I will not fully conceive the forest.
          Look into your bedroom. Do you see your dresser? What do you see in your dresser drawers? Strewn undergarments? Personal effects. Ah hum. Do you see the big picture? Does it all come to you at once? look at your bed Do you see me lying there anticipating the love we will make? Do you see love?
          Not only can we not see the big picture. What we do see is distorted into what we want to see. Remember we are finite beings. Your idols, your heroes, your leaders. They are all deceptions. They are what you make them in your limited deceived perception. As they are limited to theirs.
          Look in the mirror. Do you see yourself?
