Transparency

I think some of the best things in this world are rarely known and rarely seen.

There is so much beauty hidden from our eyes and our minds. We are restricted to what is in our limited range of sight or what is fixed in our minds. I am guilty of ignorance at times and other times people's ignorance has brought me to tears. I think it's weird that I cry for complete strangers who I have never met and likely will never meet in my life. The poor and the war torn children are way away from home, but somehow I feel like they are my family. If they cry, I want to cry too.

If you have really only seen one thing in your whole life, and just close your eyes to every other image, what is that proving? It is proving that you don't have the mental and emotional capacity to look past your own selfish state of mind and embrace something new. It makes me angry, but it is not my place to criticize others.

Sometimes I feel like I belong somewhere in this world, but I have not found the place yet. I'll continue to open my heart to the transparent beauty on this planet, the cultures that are seldom seen and heard, and the experiences yet to be discovered.
