ALTER YOUR VISION

excerpt from CHEROKEE FEAST OF DAYS, MEDITATIONS, by Joyce Sequichie Hifler

"Nothing ever remains quite the same - but a time comes when we have to follow new guidlelines and think new thoughts and do new things.  It does not take a superhuman, but it takes a believer - a worker with ears to hear and eyes to see - not just the physical but the spiritual.  We cannot take for granted that any other human can have accurate perception and spell things out for us.  The miracles are not all in other heads, other hands, other methods.  There must be a burst of inner fire that sparks a miracle, that opens a door to a greater life, a greater calm.  We are never so blind as when we close ourselves off by our critical views, our hardened hearts, our failure to perceive the greatness of gentle things.  O friend, look away from lack  and need and pain.  Alter your vision and it will alter life.
