How very unfortunate is the experience of that Poor Soul, who insists on the absolute correctness of his View of Life … when that View is framed by and constricted to, the limitations of a Keyhole of Ideological Dogma, defined by his religious sect, political party, family tradition, or social attitude.
For he, in all of his zealous fervor, is denying himself the wondrous scope of Beauty that thrives just outside … in the diverse perspectives, opinions, and visions, of All who are celebrating the World of acceptance, and honor of one another … just across that Threshold defining His chamber of chosen confinement.
All that hinders Him from enjoying freedom of thought and expression … is that locked door … whose governing Key is His own free will and choice.
“Who is so deafe, or so blynde, as is hee,
That wilfully will nother here nor see.”
[1546 J. Heywood ‘Dialogue of Proverbs’ ii. ix. K4]

So very true....I love people and things for who they are, and for what they stand for. So many people need to unlock their door and look at the beauty that is all around us everyday, we either chose to be looking through a key hole, or we can chose to open the door as wide as it will and love life and all that offers, I am Thankful I can see and my door is completely wide open, even when my surroundings are not what I might want them to be. One can look through a key hole and use his or her imagination! I love the way you put words down and make me really think and look into each word and find beauty and truth.

p.s.
sometimes I know what I want to write, then when I do write it and I proof read it, it doesn't make any since at all, maybe I should stop proof reading! =)
Wonderful post.
As we crouch looking through the keyhole, we are inundated with influences trying to convince us that the key we are holding in our hand will not fit the lock that binds us to the world's views.
Thank you for sharing this.
Namaste,

so very true. deeply sad but just so true. yes, we very much were of a kindred mind...
Narrow vision and closed minds are two things that are very sad for the people that have them. They tend to miss wonder.
Please know, My Dear Annette, that your Spirit's freedom of expression is not only welcome in my Heart ... but is treasured and thoroughly honored. I am complimented that you recognize the respect and reverence that I have for each element of your persona; Vision.
Lovingly ...
I bow with the whispered "namaste" on my Spiritual lips, as I gratefully receive your lovely insight and refreshing reflections on the necessity for our confidence in each of our own Personal Inner Messengers. Thank you, Dear Buddhist Conservative, Friend, for your kind investment of this Moment.
Lovingly ...
I can think of little, that I would prefer, to being a "Kindred Spirit" with You, My Darling Lime. You bless Me!
Lovingly ...
How grateful I am, that I found You, as part of this beautiful World presenting itself, when I opened the door of Life, My Precious NiteByrd. You are Joy!
lovingly ...
