The gift of being seen

The gift of being seen

No one is invisible. It’s just that we don’t see them.

We might see a label or a function and miss the person.

Or our brain screens out what we might consider a distraction, unimportant or too challenging, because we can’t absorb everything.

Yet the gift of being seen is enormous, far more significant than we realise. And even if we feel invisible, we can still give this gift to another.

Because everyone has intrinsic worth and the possibility of becoming.

One of the greatest gifts of life. To be seen. And through this, to be known. Truly known. Thank you, Sue.

Where might the real be? Perhaps hiding in broad daylight if only we have eyes to perceive. Special Sue Heatherington
