Lenses, Paradox and More!
Besides the corrective lenses I have worn since I was a young child, the lenses that I view the world through are those from my experiences. I am a white woman who has post graduate education. I was brought up in a middle class, democratic political bent and small town. I also have and grew up with a visible physical disability. I am also a spiritual being whose light and force are infinite! All of this is going to shape how I view things. Being an infinite being in a finite body I have come to really appreciate the paradox that I am. Actually, I am a multitude of paradoxes. Claiming and acting out of both the infinite and finite being that I am gives me the power, the hope and the love that is needed to live my life in this world.

Hi Melody,
ReplyDeleteI like how you affirm that you are both finite and infinite. It seems that deep spiritual truth is most often a paradox. I also like how you recognize that you see the world through the lens of your experiences. I think that as we learn to balance paradox and apply it in our daily lives, we experience more of the richness of life. It is awesome to balance the reality that we are finite physical beings with an infinite consciousness.
