True Seeing

All mirrors are clear.

If there is darkness or a lack of clarity,
it is only the smoke in your own eyes
clouding your vision,
confusion blocking the inner light
from shining brightly.

The clouds that block
true seeing
are covering your heart,
not your eyes.

One may learn to see clearly,
with the inner eye,
by opening the heart to love
a little more deeply,
and completely.
