I've had just enough time... to learn that truth can be hidden in plain sight
 |
| You may not see the truth even if you have compound eyes... |
I was so
sure of my sight because I could see
Better
than others, I thought
So I did
not heed those close to me
"Beware!
Things are not what they seem"
But I
trusted my sight more because I, could see
We were
so sure of the rights we fought
That we could not be wrong
Justice,
compassion, transparency, truth
I thought
all who came under the banners
Fought
for the same God
The
battles had been fought and lost
The
banners strewn on the battlefield
With the
corpses, as I retreated I reflect -
Blindness
is such a strange ailment
We are
blind because we are so sure we see

How our
eyes deceived us. We would not have been fooled if we were blind. I saw the
path I was shown. I saw it lead straight to the castle. And we charged. But we
did not see the swamp that bogged us down. That made us easy preys to the
hidden foes and the circling vultures. We felt the slings of arrows taking up arms
against a sea of troubles. No more! I lay down my arms but not before I reluctantly
slay the beautiful illusive dream. But worry not about the dreamer, he dreams
new dreams without bloodshed instead...
He tried to hide, but you still found him Thou San! :-)

Ah yes, in much agreement. We have eyes but do not see, ears but do not hear. We can be equipped with the best physically and technically speaking, and yet be found sorely deficient in insight. Sometimes we choose not to see. A quote from Nietzsche: "How much truth can a spirit bear, how much truth can a spirit dare?"

Looks like a peek a boo shot, what I see is an extremely adorable and innocent little creature with a curious expression!

I think this little one came to greet you, I so miss my good friends in the garden,
I will plant my butterfly garden more carefully next spring with host plants not only to attract but also for them to lay their eggs, a host plant is essential to their survival, great closeup Thou!

Not an easy task to find these little wonders and mighty fine work on the capture as well :)

Ha this little guy seems to be on the verge of flight but stopping to look over the leaf and say hello to you!

He appears to be sitting patiently waiting for you to take his picture........so small and innocent on that big old leaf! :))

Fantastic detail and light - love the angle and how he's just emerging from above the leaf.

A stunning capture Thou. Love the angle of this shot. He seems to be in a sea of beautiful satin green - staring right at you - with deep thought as well! : ). I am always amazed at shots like these and others of dragonflies when they stare straight at you. On the one hand it seems a simple insect cannot possibly have much of a brain to reflect upon - and yet when you see shots like these - it seems he has a lot going on in his mind. Or perhaps it is just an illusion as is our certainty about all that we can see. Wishing you a lovely week full of true enlightenment my friend. And many thanks as always for your kindness : )

You are very wise dear friend, you see things others ignore,
I wish at least half had your dreams then the world would be a better place,
I hope you had great weekend.
