On Being Seen

The illusion of separation blocking our togetherness

By Lauren ScottPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

On being seen

I long to be free. To find my way to the wide open expanse within and without—bringing it to the world to be met with whatever comes.

I clamp down on the perceived reactions of others, the stories I tell myself, the hidden messages of their likes and dislikes, feedback and nonresponse.

What if no one cares. Truly?

What if we all are locked in our own worlds, interconnected yet lost in the illusion of story and separation?
