Who can know the spirit of a man?
Are there words to describe it?
Longterm, forged beliefs are lodged in thinking patterns that form boundaries. Are they accessible? Would a spiritual screenshot be like a picture frame?
FRAMES
Borders of gold or silver or grey,
Housing an image – a drama at play…….
Thinking that's captured inside a box……
No matter what the outcome unlocks.
Surrounding a moment that’s frozen in time
A painting, a portrait, a paradigm….
A rendering of something that’s already past….
Encased-enshrined-making it last!
But what about invisible frames....
Without images - without names,
Boundaries forged by points of view -
My approach to me – my approach to you?
I look through my windows to observe-to see-
The two-way mirror that reflects back to me.
My eyes and ears accept or erase
Whatever impression I choose to embrace.
​
Do I have sight or am I blind?
Trapped by perceptions locked in my mind….
Distorted impressions of what I see…..
Decisions I make about you……….about me?

Thoughts about the afterlife
The unseen life of intuition
We see things not as they are ...but as we are!
Achievement, satisfaction, anxiety, guilt -are they in control?
