In the upper and lower portions of this well known Escher wood cut, there are clearly birds flying and fish swimming. As our eyes blink while gazing into the middle of this piece, our perception fluctuates. At times we may see fish swimming, only to find that when we blink again there are birds flying.

Similarly, as we move through our lives, the black and white elements are usually easy to identify. The gray elements, on the other hand, which comprise the large majority of our lives, require a shifting perception to navigate with the same level of clarity.

Rather than limiting our experiences to those that we see through our ordinary eyes, the possibility exists to blink and make our way by Seeing With Heart… the place where the miracle is the ordinary, not the exceptional… the place of bliss.
