What is it that makes us so blind to the truth? What leads us to see things that aren't really there? The conventional answer is "love". But love is pure....it is a light so bright and true. Love, by its very nature can neither cheat nor deceive you.
So what is it then that distorts reality?
Maybe it's the desire of love....and not love itself... that does it. It's like reaching for a hand in a house of mirrors. Which is the flesh and which is an image? It's not always easy to tell. If love is the brightest star in the universe then shining it into a mirror will only blind us. Only our desire is reflected over and over and over again. But take away the silver backing and the mirror becomes a window. So are we looking in mirrors when we should be looking through windows? For the light to enfold us, we need to open the window and let it shine. Provided , of course, that it's not nailed shut from the other side.
But that's a story for another day.
