Insight is imparted
with a blinding flash.
My mind reels with
a new consciousness.
The world looks different
but what has transformed?
Only my discernment
has changed the view.

Thomas Davis
/ February 2, 2012The problem with life is that we do not discern often enough to change our views, but too often get caught in the ruts of life that swing around and around in the same field. Good poem.
Bodhirose
/ February 3, 2012You’re so right. The “ruts of life” can be very difficult to overcome…it’s a true test…will we or won’t we. Thanks for a great comment, Thomas.

/ February 2, 2012“only my discernment” – what a journey.
Bodhirose
/ February 3, 2012Yes, an amazing journey…no matter how we view it.
Ravenblack
/ February 2, 2012A lot of how the world appears is due to one’s own way of seeing things, or reacting thus creating. Like a cycle back on itself. Thanks for this insightful poem. :)
Bodhirose
/ February 3, 2012You are so right about that. It’s our reaction to experiences that creates our peace…or otherwise. Thanks for sharing an insightful comment. :)

/ February 4, 2012Our discernment is all we have. It seems, at the same time, immensely powerful and woefully inadequate (when it comes to affecting change in the world).
Bodhirose
/ February 5, 2012Yes, I agree, it sometimes is woefully lacking..
Madeleine Begun Kane
