PEEK A BOO

Sometimes things look like faces

They are not really a face, but they look like a face

Not only that

Often the face looks some kind of way

Happy, sad, angry, threatening

Yet we know beyond a shadow of a doubt

That this is not a face expressing emotions at all

Something in our own brains is hardwired to look for meaning

In what is essentially without meaning

A situation can look like one thing

While being something else entirely

A person can appear one way to us until they speak

Then we see we were mistaken

Everyone likes to think they are a good judge of character

But judging character takes a long time because some people

Make their way in the world by disguising their true nature

With an act

This is why the Cloud of Unknowing is such a valuable place

To hang out, maybe have a cuppa and just wait

Until we see what's what, how things will play out

Meanwhile we are not playing yoyo with our hopes and fears

Unknowing frees our minds up wonderfully

We are poised to react at the right time

If you find yourself in the Cloud of Unknowing you can relax

Until the winds of change and time

Blow it away and we can see the big picture

As it is
