Seeing What's Not There


Some may look at this picture and see two pairs of shoes. If you can imagine bodies connected to the shoes, I see a father and daughter playing: "Pick me up again Daddy. Pick me up again." Sentiments I am sure many of you can remember, even if it only happened yesterday.
But it would not be a Jordan Canon meditation without a twist.

If you are a man, the only sentiment you can relate to is being the father picking up the daughter. If you are a woman, the only sentiment you can relate to is being the child playing with your father.

Of course, that would be sentiment experienced first-hand. If you witnessed such an event, you could connect to the sentiment, but second-hand.

Either way, the thought should make you smile.

That seems like a lot of thought for a picture of two pairs of shoes. However, it's only the tip of the iceberg when you see today's daily reading. You will have the opportunity to be one the characters in today play.

And of course, only if you can see what's not there.


Love and light,
Jordan Canon
