I have been using the invitation to Nadine’s art showing as a bookmark and as I looked down at it today, it prompted me to think (imagine that coming from me) about the phrase "breaking the surface."
I imagined how the surface of a pond, by way of reflection or refraction, distorts our view of what is at the bottom of the pond. No less so for the lake or ocean, we are rendered ignorant of what resides below the surface.
In breaking the surface of thought, if I am permitted the analogy, we become en-lightened to what lay beneath the surface of our everyday mind; prejudices, fears, judgments, and all the manifestations of self.
It occurred to me that our discussions, the sharing of our thoughts whether seemingly clear or opaque with confusion, are a vehicle that allows us to pierce the surface of our illusions, and to see with unmistakable compassion, our true nature; the Love which embraces both love and hate in equal measure.
