“We don’t see things as they are. We see things as we are.”
My filter is everything. It is the way I see the world. It is the way I interact with others humans, species — life. I don’t feel like I have much to offer this world if I don’t have the filter that is my mind.
This filter represents all the things that have passed through me — and for some reason or another, have stuck around and moved through this life with me.
But what if this filter was emptied out? What if it got cleaned — for real? What if my experiences and thoughts and past trauma were all removed from this filter?
What if this filter was just… blank?
…
If I wiped the slate clean, I’d see beauty.
If I wiped the slate clean, I’d see bliss.
If I wiped the slate clean, I’d have endless compassion.
If I wiped the slate clean, I’d give until it hurt.
If I wiped the slate clean, I would move with life, instead of against it.
If I wiped the slate clean, I would be here and now, always and forever.
