NEW LIGHT

      
  EARLY MORNING WINTER LIGHT, 
REFLECTING AND REFRACTING 
OFF OF WINDOWS, OPENED FOR 
FRESH AIR AND COOL BREEZE, 
CAST NEW HIGHLIGHTS AND 
SHADOWS ON FAMILIAR OBJECTS 
GIVING ONE NEW PERSPECTIVES 
ON GATHERED TREASURERS.   
IT MAKES YOU THINK ABOUT 
YOUR OLD ROUTINES AND WONDER 
IF NEW LIGHT ON THEM OR 
OBJECTIVE REVIEW OF THEM 
WOULD BE GOOD AND A NECESSARY TONIC.                                                                                                                                        
  WE NORMALLY HAVE A 
DISCIPLINE OF LIVING 
WHICH BEGINS WITH PURPOSE.   
GRADUALLY THE REPETITIONS AND 
PASSAGE OF TIME MAKE OUR ACTIONS 
SEEM MUNDANE AND ROBOTIC.  
IF WE WERE TO OPEN THE WINDOWS 
OF OUR BEING TO LET IN 
THE FRESHNESS OF NEW IDEAS 
AND THE LIGHT OF BETTER REASON, 
WE COULD, PERHAPS, CLOSE THE DOOR 
TO MONOTONY AND LISTLESSNESS.

 AFTER WE TREAT OURSELVES THIS WAY 
AND PROSPER FROM THE RESULTS OF OUR EFFORT, 
WOULD IT NOT BE WISE TO APPLY 
A CRITICAL EYE AND OBJECTIVE 
ANALYTICAL EAR TO ALL THE THINGS 
WE SEE AND HEAR?  

 COULD WE MAKE CONCLUSIONS AND 
FORM OUR OWN OPINION BASED ON 
INTELLECTUAL HONESTY AND TRUTH, 
RATHER THAN REMAINING PART OF 
THE HERD WHOSE ONLY WAY TO MAKE 
A NEW TRAIL IS TO WANDER FROM 
HERE TO THERE?

 SEEING AND HEARING THE SAME THINGS 
OVER AND OVER DOES NOT NECESSARILY 
MEAN THEY ARE CORRECT. THE TRUTH 
HAS TO BE SOUGHT OUT.  
THIS REQUIRES CONSTANT AND 
CONSISTENT OBSERVATION MADE  
USING NEW ANGLES OF LIGHT 
AND LISTENING WHEN THE NEWS 
IS CARRIED ON THE FRESH EARLY AIR. 
 
 THE WANDERING HERD DOES NOT 
MAKE THE BEST PATH.  
THE FALSE GODS ARE NOT THE SOURCE 
TO GO TO FOR OUR KNOWLEDGE AND OPINIONS.  
SEARCH OUT THE BEST PATH, 
THE RIGHT PATH, AND THEN BE 
TRUE TO YOUR CONVICTIONS.  
AVOID THE UNNECESSARY DETOURS, 
SEEK ENLIGHTENMENT AND STAY REFRESHED.  
LOOK FORWARD TO THE NEXT SEASON.
