We like to think we are sure of what we are seeing or experiencing.  We can be sure of what we are seeing or experiencing, we just cannot be sure it is all of what is contained in the experience.  We perceive with our senses from the direction we are sensing things only.  We are not aware of all of what something contains.  It is humbling to admit we can never have the full picture but it is also a relief. Essentially it allows us to know we have no place to judge a person, place, or thing as a whole because we cannot perceive it’s whole.  Being present to all something or someone contains requires us to reach for the hand of God and ask for guidance.  We can look within ourselves to notice what our perception is telling us about ourselves based on what we are judging or reacting to in someone or something else.  The fact of what something or someone contains as a whole is outside our perspective frees us to experience all of life as lessons on how to get to know us.  We use big expressions like confirmation bias and predilection but ultimately we are humbly admitting we can never know all of what a person, place or thing contains all on our own.  God invites us to get to know all of what is contained in our own hearts day by day, breath by breath.
