So much of our focus is outside of ourselves.  It is important to keep our eyes open and looking at what is in front of us, if we don’t we will bump into things.  What we lose sight of with our outside focus is how much of what we perceive outside of us comes from our interior view.  If you are not clear on how this is possible, next time you witness something ask the person next to you what they witnessed. You will notice a difference in what they saw and heard from your version.  How many times have we wondered, were those people watching the same thing?  How could they not see what clearly happened?  How much frustration stems from other people who do not see what is so obvious to you?  We cannot know or understand the reality of other’s interior but we can know and own our interior.  God encourages us to remain connected to the interior landscape of our being because it contains the truth of who we are.  Maybe we think its silly to pay attention to our interior.  Maybe we are afraid of what we will find. I have learned that no amount of seeking outside of myself has brought me the peace and freedom I have found when I was willing to let go of my ideas about what I would find when I explored my interior world. When we learn to make peace with all of what makes up our interior landscape we see peace in our lives.
