Golden

When I close my eyes, when I look inside, I look for the hole in my thinking.

It's not the hole of what's missing. It's the whole of the vision. It's the view to what I'm feeling.

I have to wait. Relax. Reflect. Look. Listen. Look again. Then I see all of the moving things inside my eyelids begin moving.

They move apart. They separate. A tiny hole they make. I look through that hole and see a whole vision.

It's the way to my feelings, my future. It's golden.

Indeed. A hole doesn't necessarily mean empty. It can be full too!

I've given you an award over at my blog 'cos i really enjoy your writing.

Without a hole, a house would be unlivable, a cup, useless. I like the whole of your hole. Is there room for more than one? :-)

I'll take those cookies now and a hug too if you have an extra to spare. :-)

Hi Easy!
It's not hard to care about you. Your words and the way you write them make me whole too.

Hi Pensativo,
I actually look for the holes to reach out for answers. I find pictures inside them that tell me what I'm thinking and what I know.

I'm happy to share a link with a friend. :)

great alchemy!
It's like the space of rest between breaths.
It validates my efforts to turn thinking into meditation. I observe thoughts lighten up. thanks
