Our mind is our eyes. It is a microscope that penetrates the
tiny things, a telescope that brings the far off close.
When our mind sees as our eyes see to navigate through
traffic, we can navigate life’s potholes.
A quiet mind is a tranquil mountain lake. It reflects with
precision the trees on the far bank as if they were part of the water. When our
mind sees as the lake sees, we see threats and avoid them; we recognize friends
and embrace them.
To close our mind is to reject a good friend.

Get wisdom; get insight; do not forget, and do
not turn away from the words of my mouth. Do not forsake her, and she will keep
you; love her, and she will guard you. The beginning of wisdom is this: Get
wisdom, and whatever you get, get insight. Prize her highly, and she will exalt
you; she will honor you if you embrace her. She will place on your head a
graceful garland; she will bestow on you a beautiful crown.” (Proverbs 4:5-9)
