PROMPT January 26

Yesterday was Opposite Day!

Today I want you to take an opposite point of view.

Imagine a place you go to regularly - they gym, your regular coffee shop, wherever you choose. Take up the POV of the person at the counter, the bike across from you, any one person you choose.

What's your first impression of yourself?

Is it the real you or one you plan and project?

Who Is The Opposite Of Me?

"Who is the opposite of me?"
I contemplate the philosophical connotations!

I am a segment of humanity,
and my nature is that of duality:
I am a soul living in a physical body.

I dwell upon the material plane,
I live in a world of opposites,
of light and darkness,
of yen and yang.

Opposites are my reality,
they live within my being:
I am both a spiritual creature having a physical experience,
and a physical creature having a spiritual experience.

At death my body will return to dust,
and my soul ascend into the spiritual realm,
but for now
I must deal with the opposites
that are my reality.

"Who is the opposite of me?"
I meditate on the spiritual connotations!

It is difficult to get outside of me
to see me
through the eyes of another human being.

So, who is the opposite of me?
the only answer I can find
is me,
because the opposites dwell within me.
