“I'm looking through you”… “What did I know?”

(with thanks to Lennon and McCartney)

What do you see when you don’t consciously look; 

when you observe from within, 

when you scrutinise from outside?

What do you see when you look deeply inward; 

peer beyond the well-known, 

examine the unknowable?

Do you see certainty?

Can you comprehend legitimacy?

Have you the vision to recognise Truth?

Is your reality just illusion; 

do your synapses reflect carnival mirrors?

Can you recognise the image in your mind?

Are we really who we think we are, 

who we see in the glass, 

what we hear in our heads?

Is the external world illusory, 

just fantastic dream domains of our own invention?

Or are we merely invisible only to ourselves?

Ronda R. Scott-Marak
