Blinding preconceptions


Seen through the trees, 
 The setting sun’s reflection, 
The path it casts across the water, disappears — 
Just so, we humans, easily distracted, 
Can fail to see the fine thread that connects us 
To everyone we meet. 
When will we learn to step beyond 
The preconceptions that so often blind us 
And welcome the light and color that 
The Other can bring into our lives?
