My Windows
The world is beyond point of view.
My dwelling has two windows. One looks upon a quiet road. Another shows a view of a garden.
Am I traveler, or farmer? It depends on which way I look.
❖
From other rooms in my home, the blank walls: what would I see if a new window were cut? Does one show calamity near? Does another reveal wealth or power of which I had not known?
Lord, let me walk outside to meet the world, the same outside all the windows.

Consider:
Where can I set aside my perspective and instead see reality?
